What Defines Hilo
Hilo sits on the windward coast of Hawaii Island and serves as the county seat of Hawaii County. The town receives over 120 inches of rain per year, making it one of the wettest cities in the United States. That rainfall feeds the waterfalls along the Hamakua Coast and keeps the surrounding landscape green year-round.
The old downtown district along Kamehameha Avenue faces Hilo Bay. Many of the buildings date to the early 1900s and survived the two tsunamis that hit the bay in 1946 and 1960. The 1960 tsunami killed 61 people and destroyed the waterfront business district. The low-lying area was never rebuilt for commercial use and is now parkland.
The University of Hawaii at Hilo occupies a campus on the edge of town. The Mauna Kea observatories, operated by multiple international institutions, are administered from Hilo. The Imiloa Astronomy Center near the university connects Hawaiian cultural knowledge with modern astronomical research.
