Parker Ranch, Historical cattle ranch in Waimea, Hawaii County, US.
Parker Ranch extends over 130,000 acres of volcanic grasslands on Hawaii Island, where cattle graze through a system of rotational pastures.
John Palmer Parker established the ranch in 1847 after receiving land from King Kamehameha I as recognition for managing the wild cattle population.
The ranch introduced Mexican vaqueros who taught Hawaiian cowboys, known as paniolos, the techniques of cattle and horse handling in the 1800s.
Visitors can take self-guided tours of two historic homes, Puuopelu and Mana Hale, located at 66-1304 Mamalahoa Highway.
The Parker Ranch Foundation Trust manages the property since 1992, focusing on sustainable cattle raising and renewable energy through a 30MW solar project.
