Who named Haleiwa - HALEIWA?

Haleʻiwa is a North Shore community and census-designated place (CDP) in the Waialua District of the island of Oʻahu, City and County of Honolulu. In 1898 a businessman named Benjamin Dillingham opened a hotel in the North Shore area and named it Haleiwa. In Hawaiian, hale means "house", and the ʻiwa is a frigatebird. As of the 2000 Census, the CDP had a total population of 2,225, and is the largest commercial center on the North Shore of the Island. Its old plantation town character is preserved in many of the buildings, making this a popular destination for tourists and residents alike, visiting surfing and diving sites along the north shore.

Haleʻiwa is located on Waialua Bay, the mouth of Anahulu Stream (also known as Anahulu River). A small boat harbor is located here, and the shore of the bay is surrounded by Haleʻiwa Beach Park (north side) and Haleʻiwa Aliʻi Beach Park (south side). Further west from the center of town is Kaiaka State Recreation Area on Kiaka Point beside Kaiaka Bay.

On December 7th, 1941 the only fighter aircraft who managed to scramble against the Japanese attacking Pearl Harbor took off from the now abandoned Haleiwa Airfield, which is now the site of many backdrops for the Hawaii film industry including such well known films such as "Bay Watch Hawaii" and now "Lost"

The U.S. postal code for Haleʻiwa, including Kawailoa, is 96712.
