History

In 1815 Parker married Kipikane, the daughter of a high-ranking chief, and as a family developed what is now Parker Ranch, the largest ranch in the area. Waimea also saw many soldiers during this time who built a large temporary tent city, Camp Tarawa. As the Europeans arrived in the area, most of the sandalwood ('Santalum ellipticum') forests were harvested and the land became ideal for grazing animals. Since each US state cannot have more than one Waimea office of the same name and there are many 'Waimeas' on the islands of Hawai i, the official United States Postal Service name for Waimea is Kamuela.

It is believed that the watershed area of the Kohala (mountain) once supported several thousand native Hawaiians, who practiced subsistence agriculture, made kapa, and Thatching hales. Waimea is a census-designated place (CDP) in Hawaii County, Hawaii i County, Hawai i, United States.
