about Wahiawa

Wahiawā is a town located more or less in the center of O'ahu Island, on the plateau or "central valley" between the two volcanic mountains that comprise the island. It is in the small, Wahiawa District and the City & County of Honolulu. In Hawaiian, wahi a wā means "place of noise", perhaps a reference to the fact that once upon a time, heavy surf on the distant coast could be heard here. As of the 2000 Census, the town had a total population of 16,151.

Lakes and reservoirs are rare in Hawai'i, and Wahiawā is at once unique in being surrounded on three sides by Lake Wilson (also known as Wahiawā Reservoir). The town must be accessed by either of two bridges on Kamehameha Highway (State Rte. 80) across the narrow north and south arms of the reservoir. Outside of the reservoir, the town used to be surrounded by military bases and agricultural fields, but development is making its way up from the increasingly urbanized southern portion of the central plain. Still, there are significant U.S. Army facilities here, including Schofield Barracks, Wheeler Army Airfield, and East Range, an Army training area extending into the hills south and east of town. Schofield Barracks alone is larger than Wahiawa.

The U.S. postal code for Wahiawā is 96786

Wahiawa geography

Wahiawā is located at 21°30'9" North, 158°1'23" West (21.502574, -158.022938). Vehicular routes heading towards the North Shore from Wahiawa are Kamehameha Highway (State Rte. 80) to Hale'iwa and Kaukonahua Road (State Rte. 801) to Waialua. Wheeler and Schofield are reached along Wilikina Drive (State Rte. 99) from the south bridge, a road that eventually connects to both Kamehameha Highway and Kaukonahua Road northwest of town. Kamehameha Highway continues south (as State Rte. 99) past Wheeler to Mililani Town. However, the Interstate H-2 terminates at Wilikina Drive near the Kamehameha Highway intersection, and is a less congested route southward to Mililani and beyond to Pearl City and Honolulu via Interstate H-1. Kunia Road (State Rte. 750) runs from Wilikini Dr., between Schofield and Wheeler, then southward along the mostly still agricultural western side of the plain to Kunia and Waipahu beyond.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 6.2 km² (2.4 mi²). 5.5 km² (2.1 mi²) of it is land and 0.7 km² (0.3 mi²) of it is water. The total area is 11.34% water.
