Additional Description: The interpretative sign reads “Located at the mouth of Waikomo Stream, Koloa Landing was the third largest whaling port on Hawaii, along with Lahaina, Maui, and Honolulu, Oahu. The Landing boasted a customs office during the monarchy period, serving as a port of entry for foreign goods. Ships put in for firewood beef, port, and native produce. In the 1850s Koloa supplied California with sweet potatoes and oranges grown by Hawaiian farmers. Sugar from Koloa Plantation was shipped fro Koloa Landing until 1912.
