The Kilauea Plantation or Kilauea Sugar Plantation was a large sugarcaneplantation on the north side of Kauai island, Hawaii, including the community of Kilauea, Hawaii. It was owned and operated by the 1880-incorporated Kilauea Sugar Company, which became the Kilauea Sugar Plantation, Co. from 1899 on.[1][2] The original property was bought by an American, Charles Titcomb, from Kamehameha IV by 1863 who used it for cattle ranching. It was sold to Englishmen John Ross and E.P. Adams, who also leased additional land from Titcomb. Ross and Adams planted sugarcane, then incorporated a firm.[3] It was operated as a plantation from 1880 to 1971.[4]
Several historic buildings of the plantation survive, and are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).[5] Among these are several stone buildings, of a local style that took advantage of fieldstone removed from sugarcane fields. Temporary railway tracks were laid down to transport the fieldstone from piles beside the fields to the building locations.[2]
The Kilauea Plantation Head Bookkeeper's House, at 2421 Kolo Rd. in Kilauea, Hawaii, was built in 1930. Its NRHP listing, also in 1993, included two contributing buildings.[5] The main house was the seventh stone house built by the plantation, and is "a good example of the bungalow/craftsman style in Hawaii".[8]
The school for the community was the Kilauea School, located on the edge of the plantation, at 2440 Kolo Rd., Kilauea, Hawaii. It was built in 1922 and is NRHP-listed, but is not built of stone. It was listed for its architecture and its association with the community.[5][9]
This was a grocery store for plantation workers, located on W. side of Lighthouse Rd., about .5 mi N. of HI 56., and is listed on the National Register. Built in c.1941, it was the last stone building built by the plantation.[10]
The Kilauea Sugar Plantation Railway or Kilauea Track Line was the 12+1⁄2 miles (20 km) long narrow gauge railway network with a gauge of 2 ft (610 mm) for transporting sugarcane and sugar.
