Moloka’i is one of eight major islands of the state of Hawaii. The island, created by volcanoes, lies east of Oahu and northwest of Maui. It is about 40 miles long and seven miles wide.
Moloka’i is the site of a famous colony for victims of leprosy (Hansen’s disease). The Hansen’s Disease Treatment Center occupies an isolated area of the Kalaupapa Peninsula, formed by a volcano on the northern coast.
Moloka’i is called the Friendly Island because of the courtesy its people show to visitors. The original inhabitants, self-sufficient taro growers and fishermen, migrated to other islands at the turn of the twentieth century. The Hawaiian Homes Act of 1921 encouraged homesteading and resettlement.
The island has three regions. The western broad, dry plateau contains mostly cattle ranches. The fertile plain of the central region is where various crops are grown. The eastern region consists of rugged mountain cliffs and deep canyons.
The northern side of the isle is an almost-continuous towering cliff, reaching to 3,600 feet and intersected by deep valleys. The sea cliffs along the northeastern coast of Moloka’i are the highest in the world.
