Inscription.
Kauikeaouli was born within this enclosure March 17, 1814 the second son of Kamehameha I and Keopuolani. His reign (1825-1854) was the longest in the history of the Kingdom. While a minor, his kingdom knew the firm regency of Queen Ka'ahumanu, briefly succeeded by his half sister Kina'u. When he assumed power in 1833 the Kingdom was best with problems caused by immigration and foreign demands. During his reign the Kingdom of Hawai'i achieved world-wide diplomatic recognition; a constitution was developed, the tax system was reformed, and a legal basis for land ownership was instituted.

Erected by KAPU; Keauhou Resort.
