Lihue or Līhu{{okina}}e is an unincorporated community, census-designated place (CDP) and the county seat of Kauai County, Hawaii, United States. Lihue (pronounced {{IPA-haw|liːˈhuʔe|}}) is the second largest town on the Hawaiian island of Kaua{{okina}}i after Kapa{{okina}}a. As of the 2010 census, the CDP had a population of 6,455,[1] up from 5,694 at the 2000 census.

History

In ancient times, Lihue was a minor village. Līhu{{okina}}e means "cold chill" in the Hawaiian language.[2][3] Lihue is in the ancient district of Puna, the southeastern coast of the island, and the land division (ahupua{{okina}}a) of Kalapaki.[4] Royal Governor Kaikio{{okina}}ewa officially made it his governing seat in 1837, moving it from Waimea;[5] he gave the town its name after the land he owned on Oahu by the same name.

With the emergence of the sugar industry in the 1800s, Lihue became the central city of the island with the construction of a large sugar mill. Early investors were Henry A. Peirce, Charles Reed Bishop and William Little Lee. The plantation struggled until William Harrison Rice built the first irrigation system in 1856.[6]

Subsequent plantation owner Paul Isenberg helped German people emigrate to Lihue starting in 1881, with the first Lutheran church in Hawaii founded in 1883.[7] Services were held in German well into the 1960s. By the 1930s, George Norton Wilcox became one of the largest sugarcane plantation owners, buying Grove Farm from Hermann A. Widemann.[8] The Wilcox family home, Kilohana, has been converted into a restaurant and gift shop. The surrounding plantation now grows crops and livestock. A narrow-gauge tourist railroad with vintage diesel locomotives from Whitworth and General Electric offers tours of the plantation; horse-drawn carriage tours are offered as well. The grounds are also the site of luaus, many of which are offshore excursions booked through NCL America. Lihue also houses the Kauai Museum, which details the history of Kauai.[9]

Geography and climate

Lihue sits on the eastern side of the island of Kauai and is bordered by Hanamaulu to the north and Puhi to the west. Its shorefront on the Kauai Channel of the Pacific Ocean extends from Hanamaulu Bay in the north to the larger Nawiliwili Bay to the south. Hawaii Route 50 leads west from Lihue {{convert|12|mi}} to Kalaheo and beyond to the western side of the island, while Hawaii Route 56 leads north {{convert|7|mi|0}} to Kapaa and onwards to the northern side of the island.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the Lihue CDP has a total area of {{convert|19.3|sqmi|km2|order=flip}}, of which {{convert|17.3|km2|order=flip}} are land and {{convert|2.0|km2|order=flip}}, or 10.42%, are water.[1]

Lihue has a tropical wet and dry climate zone (Köppen classification As) with a relatively dry summer season.[10] The normal monthly mean temperature ranges from {{convert|71.6|F}} in February to {{convert|79.7|F}} in August. On average, there are 7.7 nights annually with a low below {{convert|60|F}}, and readings of {{convert|90|F}} or higher are quite rare, occurring on average once every eight years. Temperature records range from {{convert|46|F}} on January 14, 1930 up to only {{convert|91|F}} as recently as October 9, 2012. The record cool daily maximum is {{convert|67|F}} as recently as December 19, 1981, while, conversely, the record warm daily minimum is {{convert|80|F}} as recently as September 13, 2015.[12]

Normal annual rainfall is {{convert|37.05|in|mm|0}} spread over an average 195 days, but observed annual rainfall has ranged from {{convert|16.40|to|74.40|in|mm|0}} in 1983 and 1982, respectively. The wettest month on record is March 2006 with {{convert|36.13|in|mm|0}}, while the most rain to occur in a single calendar day is {{convert|15.81|in|mm|0}} on May 13, 1940. The record driest month is February 1983 with trace amounts.[12]
