M-453 Wahiawa Page 1 THE RECORDS OF THE WAHIAWA SETTLEMENT ASSOCIATION (1899-1939) Introduction The Wahiawa Settlement Association was formed in 1898 through the efforts of Mr. B.0. Clark. _The town was called the Wahiawa Colony, or locally known as the California Colony. This colony was the first systematic effort ever made on the island of Oahu by a group of people to demonstrate what can be done to grow a variety of crops and fruits for conunercial purposes. As the name indicates, the colony was largely composed of former residents of California, who had many years experience of fruit growing in California. One of the.main fruits grown was pineapple, and Wahiawa still remains a pineapple growing area today. This collection of records range from accounts, agreements, assets, correspondence, minutes of meetings and various other documents of the Wahiawa Settlement Association. The period covered by the records are the years between 1899 and 1939. Other informa­ tion on the Association can be found in Subject Index under Wahiawa, and the Wahiawa Settlement Association.
