==History==
It was originally created as part of the Hawaii National Park along with the volcanoes of Mauna Loa and Kilauea on the island of Hawaii in 1916. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park was made into a separate national park in 1961. The park area was designated an International Biosphere Reserve in 1980.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Biosphere Reserve Information: United States of America: Hawaiian Islands )〕 The name ''Haleakalā'' is Hawaiian for "house of the sun." According to a local legend, the semigod Maui imprisoned the sun here in order to lengthen the day. The Hawaiian National Park Language Correction Act of 2000 was proposed to observe the Hawaiian spelling, but it did not become law.〔(Hawaiian National Park Language Correction Act of 2000 (S.939) )〕
The park features the dormant Haleakalā (East Maui) Volcano, which last erupted sometime between 1480 and 1600 AD.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Youngest lava flows on East Maui probably older than A.D. 1790 )〕 The park is divided into two distinct sections: the summit area and the coastal Kipahulu area.
The two sections of the park average 1,450,000 visitors per year.
