King Kamehameha II had a vacation home on Ewa Beach. From here, he could enjoy the summer surf and look in on the Puuloa salt works. His partner, Isaac Montomery, later took over the area and planted sugar cane. King sugar thrived and communities were build around the industry.

Today, we have a high percentage of Filipinos in our community. The Chinese and Japanese are well represented. Next comes the Portuguese all the way down to German, Irish, English...Italian, and last, but not the least, our Scottish people. Yes, we are a melting pot.

Our diverse cultural heritage is a legacy from 'Ewa's plantation days when most of the ethnic groups were recruited from around the world to work on the Islands' sugar plantations. Sugar “King” of crops, dominated the island economy for nearly a century.
