Kaū is the southernmost district of Hawaii County, Hawaii, located on the island of Hawaii. Kaū was one of the six original districts of ancient Hawaii on the island, known as ''moku''. It includes the areas of South Point (Ka Lae), Hawaiian Ocean View Estates (HOVE), Hawaiian Ocean View Ranchos (HOVR), now together known as Ocean View, Nīnole, Waiōhinu, Naālehu and Pāhala.〔(Kaū Chamber of Commerce ) official web site〕 The district contains much of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, including the volcanoes Kīlauea and Mauna Loa, and Punaluu Black Sand Beach, Papakōlea (Green Sand) Beach and Kamilo Beach. To the east of Kaū is the Puna District, and to the west is the South Kona District.〔Juvik and Juvik editors, 1998, ''Atlas of Hawaii'', University of Hawaii Press, ISBN 978-0-8248-2125-8〕 Sugar cane was a large crop until 1996. Now coffee is growing in importance,〔(Kaū Coffee Growers Cooperative ) web site〕 with the Kaū Coffee Festival held in Pāhala.〔(Kaū Coffee Festival ) official web site〕 The southernmost point of the US is at Ka Lae Point in the Kaū District.
