In the 2000 U.S. census, the U.S. Census Bureau defined the K-8 campus as being in the urban Honolulu census-designated place.[2] For the 2010 U.S. census, the bureau created a new census-designated place, East Honolulu.[3][4]
Origin of Wai'alae
Wai'alae is a Hawaiian word for spring water of the mud hen, which comes from mud hen ('alae) and spring water (wai).[5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
wai
In the 1830s and 1840s, the location of the artesian spring for the spring water (or wai) in Wai'alae was a closely guarded secret known only by an elderly couple. King Kamehameha III drank from this spring while visiting. During the twentieth century, the location of the spring became unknown.[12][13]
'alae
The wetlands in the Hawaiian Islands are a winter habitat for the American coot which is also known as "mud hen".[14] The Hawaiian mud hen (or 'alae), which is referred to in Wai'alae, is the endemic Gallinula sandvicensis and is a close relative of the coot.[5][15] Mud hens, moorhens, marsh hens, and swamp hens are closely related.[15]
