Kauai or Kauai is the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands. With an area of 552.3 square miles, it is the fourth largest of the main islands in the Hawaiian archipelago and the 21st largest island in the United States Known also as the "Garden Isle", Kauai lies 105 miles across the Kauai Channel, northwest of Oahu.

The United States Census Bureau defines Kauai as Census Tracts 401 through 409 of Kauai County, Hawaii, which is all of the county except for the islands of Kaula, Lehua, and Niihau.

Kauai's origins are volcanic. The highest peak on this mountainous island is Kawaikini at 5,243 feet. The second highest peak is Mount Waialeale near the center of the island, 5,148 feet (1,569 m) above sea level.

During the reign of King Kamehameha, the islands of Kauai and Niihau were the last Hawaiian Islands to join his Kingdom of Hawaii. Their ruler, Kaumualii, resisted Kamehameha for years. King Kamehameha twice prepared a huge armada of ships and canoes to take the islands by force and twice failed; once due to a storm, and once due to an epidemic. In the face of the threat of a further invasion, however, Kaumualii decided to join the kingdom without bloodshed, and became Kamehameha's vassal in 1810, ceding the island to the Kingdom of Hawaii upon his death.

The city of Li-hue, on the island's southeast coast, is the seat of Kauai County and the second largest city on the island. Kapaa, on the Coconut Coast (site of an old coconut plantation) about 6 miles north of Li-hue, has a population of nearly 10,000, or about 50 per cent greater than Li-hue. Waimea, once the capital of Kauai on the island's southwest side, was the first place in Hawaii visited by British explorer Captain Cook.

Cities and towns on Kauai range in population from the roughly 9,500 people in Kapaa to tiny hamlets.

Kekaha

Kekaha, Kauai County, Hawaii, United States. For most of the 20th Century, the Kekaha Sugar Mill was the centerpiece of agriculture on Kauai's west side. The sugar mill had a major influence in Kekaha's development, including banking, employment, transportation, housing and utilities such as water and electricity.

Na- Pali Coast State Park encompasses 6,175 acres ( of land and is located in the center of the rugged sixteen miles (26 kilometers) along the northwest side of Kauai. The Na Pali coast itself extends southwest starting at Kee Beach extending all the way to Polihale State Park on the oldest inhabited Hawaiian Island. The pali, or "cliffs", rise as high as 4,000 ft above the Pacific Ocean. The Na Pali Coast state park was formed to protect the Kalalau Valley. Although inaccessible to automobiles, this coast can be enjoyed by hiking, boating (often in kayaks) or from a helicopter. The Kalalau Trail provides the only land access, traversing eleven miles (eighteen kilometers) and crossing five major valleys (and countless smaller ones) before reaching Kalalau Beach at the base of Kalalau Valley.
