Moloka’i’s Kalaupapa National Historical Park

In Kalaupapa, Hawaii, on the island of Molokai, there is a United States National Historical Park called Kalaupapa. It was created by Congress in 1980 to supplement the former National Historic Landmark site of the Kalaupapa Leper Settlement.

It is contiguous with the limits of Kalawao County and is mostly on the Kalaupapa peninsula. The National Park Service is in charge of running it. The two leper colonies on the island of Molokai, which were in operation from 1866 to 1969 and housed a total of 8500 people over the years, are intended to be preserved in its cultural and natural surroundings.

On the remaining portion of the island, which for many years was used for cattle ranching and pineapple cultivation, there are more over 7300 people. The owners and developers of Molokai Ranch obtained and held control of a large portion of these property. This region of the island is popular with tourists.
