Laupāhoehoe, Hawai'i : ウィキペディア英語版 | Laupāhoehoe, Hawaii Laupāhoehoe is a census-designated place (CDP) in Hawaii County, Hawaii, United States located in the District of North Hilo. The population was 581 at the 2010 census. The community's name means "lava tip" and refers to the angular lava tip or cape formed by ancient pāhoehoe (smooth lava) flows which created the cape on which the community was built. ==History== On April 1, 1946 the Big Island of Hawaii was struck by the so-called "April Fools Day tsunami", originating from the Aleutian Islands earthquake. Approximately 160 people on the island were killed. While the greatest number of deaths occurred in Hilo, the school building at Laupāhoehoe was inundated, and twenty students and four teachers were drowned. A monument to the dead now stands on Laupāhoehoe Point.
