Blood, Trauma, and Biohazard Cleanup in Hana, HI

Hana, spelled Hāna in Hawaiian, is a census-designated place (CDP) in Maui County at the eastern end of the island of Maui and one of the most isolated communities in Hawaii.

As of the 2020 census, the population was 1,526, up from 1,235 in 2010.

The CDP covers 11.70 square miles, of which 10.56 square miles is land and 1.14 square miles is water, at an elevation of 128 feet, and its ZIP code is 96713.

The CDP had 528 housing units in 2020; the 2010 census counted 390 households.

Hana was probably first settled between 500 and 800 AD by Polynesian peoples.

The first sugarcane plantation in the area was established by George Wilfong in 1849, and by 1883 there were six plantations operating in the area; the last closed in 1946.

The winding, famously scenic Hana Highway, a 52-mile highway along Maui's northern shore, was completed in 1926 and provided the first land vehicle access to the town.

Hana is reached mainly via the Hana Highway, by boat, and by commercial air service to Hana Airport, which offers flights to the Big Island, Kahului, and Oʻahu.

The Piʻilani Temple near Hana, constructed in the 15th century, is the largest temple in Hawaii, and nearby attractions include Kahanu Garden, Waiʻanapanapa State Park, Hamoa Beach, and Hana Beach Park.

Queen Kaʻahumanu was born in Hana in 1768, and aviator Charles Lindbergh retired there in the 1970s and was buried near Hana in 1974.
