I. Island of Oahu I. ISLAND OF OAHU Map of Oahu (Map taken from Google map) 4 - 3 Oahu History Oahu: With an area of 607.7 square miles, Oahu (also known as The Gathering Place) is the third largest island. It is formed of two mountain ranges, the Koolau on the east and the Waianae on the west. Lava flows from both have joined to create a central plain, the Leilehua Plateau, and a raised coral reef forms the south shore of the island and parts of the remaining coast. In both mountain ranges are amphitheater‐headed valleys and spectacular cliffs. The island has no active volcanoes but many extinct craters, notably Diamond Head, Koko Head, and Punchbowl. As the seat of state government and business, the island of Oahu led the islands in road and bridge construction due to its greater population and tax base. Post World War I, Oahu became an essential component of the strategic role the United States played in the Pacific. After the 1941 bombing of Pearl Harbor and Hawaii’s subsequent entry into World War II, construction of highways and bridges deemed vital for National Defense was accelerated. Today, Oahu is primarily urban and contains some of Hawaii's most expensive and technologically complex road construction projects, including a major highway system around the island and three tunnels (Wilson, Likelike, and the H‐3) through the central mountains. Although Oahu had the earliest and greatest number of bridges constructed in the islands, intensive development has led to the destruction and reconstruction of many early examples. 4 - 4 II.

  • AMERICA's ANNEXATION of HAWAII by BECKY L. BRUCE
    A LUSCIOUS FRUIT: AMERICA’S ANNEXATION OF HAWAII by BECKY L. BRUCE HOWARD JONES, COMMITTEE CHAIR JOSEPH A. FRY KARI FREDERICKSON LISA LIDQUIST-DORR STEVEN BUNKER A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2012 Copyright Becky L. Bruce 2012 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that the annexation of Hawaii was not the result of an aggressive move by the United States to gain coaling stations or foreign markets, nor was it a means of preempting other foreign nations from acquiring the island or mending a psychic wound in the United States. Rather, the acquisition was the result of a seventy-year relationship brokered by Americans living on the islands and entered into by two nations attempting to find their place in the international system. Foreign policy decisions by both nations led to an increasingly dependent relationship linking Hawaii’s stability to the U.S. economy and the United States’ world power status to its access to Hawaiian ports. Analysis of this seventy-year relationship changed over time as the two nations evolved within the world system. In an attempt to maintain independence, the Hawaiian monarchy had introduced a westernized political and economic system to the islands to gain international recognition as a nation-state. This new system created a highly partisan atmosphere between natives and foreign residents who overthrew the monarchy to preserve their personal status against a rising native political challenge. These men then applied for annexation to the United States, forcing Washington to confront the final obstacle in its rise to first-tier status: its own reluctance to assume the burdens and responsibilities of an imperial policy abroad.

RESULTS, CONCLUSIONS) In the downtown Honolulu area, detailed site investigations are required prior to the design and construction of high-rise buildings and other engineering structures. Hence, over the years, numerous soil borings, environmental assessments, and groundwater measurements have been conducted. As a result, much data on the subsurface geology of downtown Honolulu exists, but it is spread out among individual consulting firms and various governmental agencies. The purpose ofthis study is to compile the existing data and interpret the subsurface geology, engineering geology, hydrogeology, and environmental problems within the downtown Honolulu area. This study commenced with collecting and interpreting data from 2,276 soil boring logs from consulting firms in Honolulu, along with data from the Groundwater Index database and environmental databases maintained by the State ofHawaii. The subsurface materials are classified into nine categories: fill, lagoonal (low-energy)deposits, alluvial deposits, coralline debris, coral ledges, cinders, tuff, basalt, and residual soil or weathered volcanics.

  • Three Chinese Stores in Early Honolulu
    Three Chinese Stores in Early Honolulu Wai-Jane Char Early in the nineteenth century, there were three Chinese stores in Honolulu, listed in The Friend on August 11, 1844 as "Samping [Samsing] & Co., Ahung & Co. [Hungtai], and Tyhune." The stores are long gone and forgotten, but they were significant among the commercial establishments of that time. The first store mentioned, Samsing Co., had a modest beginning in the 1830s, next to a bakery on Fort Street, in the middle of the block near the west entrance of today's Financial Plaza. Later Samsing Co. had a location on King Street facing south in the middle of the block between Bethel and Nuuanu Streets. Yat Loy Co. carried on a dry goods business there for most of the twentieth century.1 The second store mentioned was Hungtai Co., begun even earlier at the northeast corner of Fort and Merchant Streets, where today stands the multi-storied Financial Plaza. In 1838, the store moved to a building called the "Pagoda" on Merchant Street, facing the harbor, between Fort Street and Bethel, then not yet opened as a street.2 The third store, Tyhune, also started before the mid-3os, was at the south- west corner of Hotel and Nuuanu Streets. It was marked merely as "Chinese store" on a map drawn by Alexander Simpson in 1843, during contentions over the land claims of Richard Charlton.3 During the period the Chinese stores were in business, Honolulu changed from a small village into a flourishing town with lumber yards, wharfs, streets, schools, and churches.
