DescriptionThe area was named after the dominating geological feature Kohala Mountain,[3] the oldest of Hawai{{okina}}i Island's five major volcanic mountains. The current districts cover the north and western sides of the mountain, {{coord|20|7|55|N|155|47|38|W|scale:300000_region:US-HI|display=inline,title}}. It was one of the five ancient divisions of the island called moku.[4] The natural habitats in Kohala range across a wide rainfall gradient in a very short distance - from less than {{convert|5|in|mm}} a year on the coast near Kawaihae to more than {{convert|150|in|mm}} year near the summit of Kohala Mountain, a distance of just {{convert|11|mi|km}}. Near the coast are remnants of dry forests, and near the summit is a cloud forest, a type of rainforest that obtains some of its moisture from "cloud drip" in addition to precipitation. This precipitation allowed the northeast coast to be developed into sugarcane plantations, including one founded by Rev. Elias Bond used to fund his church and girls' seminary.[5] HistoryKohala Historical Sites State MonumentThe Kohala Historical Sites State Monument includes Mo{{okina}}okini Heiau, a National Historic Landmark. King Kamehameha I, the first King of the unified Hawai{{okina}}ian Islands, was born in North Kohala west of Hāwī, at the ancient site called the Mo{{okina}}okini Heiau. The heiau is a living spiritual temple, and not just an historic artifact of the Hawaiian culture. The original Kamehameha Statue stands in front of the community center in Kapa{{okina}}au, and duplicates are found at Ali{{okina}}iolani Hale in Honolulu, and within the U.S. Capitol building's statue gallery in Washington, D.C.
