Description
City (1970 population 26,353), bay, district, harbor, golf courses, schools, and ancient surfing area (Finney and Houston 26), Hawaiʻi. Three sections of Hilo town are: Hiloone (sand Hilo), near the sea; Hilo-Hanakahi, an inland section toward Keaukaha, named for a chief famous in song (Elbert and Mahoe 50; PH 27); and Hilopalikū (Hilo of the upright cliff), east of the Wailuku River (PH 29). (See PE, Kanilehua.) Perhaps named for the first night of the new moon or for a Polynesian navigator. Forest reserve in Hilo and Hāmākua districts; trail in Hilo and Puna districts. (For a saying, see Appendix 8.1.) (Hawaiʻi Place Names)
