Lahaina Historic District, Historic district in Lahaina, Maui County, US
The district extends from Puuona Point to Makila Point, encompassing the old town of Lahaina and stretching one mile into the Pacific Ocean.
From 1820 to 1845, Lahaina served as the capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom under the reign of King Kamehameha III, who preferred it over Honolulu.
Missionaries established the First Christian Mission in 1823 at Queen Kaahumanu's invitation, leading to the construction of Wainee Church and Waiola Cemetery.
The district includes multiple preserved structures, maritime landmarks, and religious buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The area became a major Pacific whaling port in the 1850s, hosting more than 400 whaling ships annually during its peak period.
