HALEIWA

In 1898 a businessman named Benjamin Dillingham opened a hotel in the North Shore area and named it Haleʻiwa. In the Hawaiian language, hale means "house", and the ʻiwa is a frigatebird. On December 7, 1941 the only fighter aircraft who managed to scramble against the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor took off from the now-abandoned Haleʻiwa Airfield.
