History &
Information
Established in 1823, Wainee was the first Christian cemetery
in Hawaii. Here are buried the great and obscure of Old
Lahaina.
Notables include the following:
King Kaumualii, the last king of Kauai.
The sacred Queen Keopuolani, the highest royalty by virtue
of bloodlines in all Hawaii, born in Wailuku in 1780; she
was the first Hawaiian baptized as a Protestant.
High Chief Hoapili, a general and King Kamehameha the
Great's closest friend; Hoapili married two of Kamehameha's
queens, Keopuolani and Kalakua.
Hoapili Wahine (Kalakua), governor of Maui from 1840 to
1842, who donated 1,000 acres of land to start Lahainaluna
School.
Kekauonohi, one of the five queens of Kamehameha II, born in Lahaina in
1805, who served as governor of Kauai from 1842 to 1844
High Chiefess Liliha, granddaughter of King Kahekili; Liliha
visited King George IV with her husband, Boki, Kamehameha II
and Queen Kamamalu. In 1830 Liliha started a rebellion with
1,000 soldiers on Oahu while she was governor there. Her
father, Hoapili, forced her to give up her office and return
to Maui.
Princess Nahienaena, darling of the high chiefs and the
Hawaiian people, sister to kings Kamehameha II and III.
Many missionary children are buried in Wainee Cemetery, as
is Rev. Richards. The oldest Hawaiian Christian gravestone
in the Islands is that of a Mauian who died in 1829 from
"fever." A Hawaiian man who died in 1908 at the age of 104-
living through royal rule, the breaking of kapus,
constitutional government and the establishment of Hawaii as
a U.S. territory-is also buried here. Visitors should be
aware that Hawaiians consider this site sacred.
