Lahaina on Maui
Lahaina served as the capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii from 1820 to 1845 before the seat moved to Honolulu. During the whaling era of the mid-1800s, the town was a major Pacific port where hundreds of whaling ships anchored each season. The remains of that era are visible in the historic district along Front Street.
In August 2023, a wildfire driven by hurricane-force winds destroyed most of historic Lahaina, killing over 100 people and displacing thousands. The fire was the deadliest U.S. wildfire in over a century. Rebuilding has been slow, complicated by questions of land ownership, insurance, and the cultural significance of the destroyed Hawaiian sites.
Before the fire, Lahaina's economy depended almost entirely on tourism. Front Street was lined with galleries, restaurants, and shops. The Pioneer Inn, built in 1901, and the Banyan Tree, planted in 1873, were landmarks. The banyan tree survived the fire, though severely damaged.
Housing costs in Lahaina reflect Hawaii's overall market, where median prices consistently exceed mainland averages. The isolation of the islands means construction materials must be shipped in, adding to development costs. Rental markets are tight, particularly in areas near tourist zones.
