Kaumakani (literally, ''"place in the wind"'' in the Hawaiian language) is a census-designated place (CDP) in Kauai County, Hawaii, United States. The population was 607 at the 2000 census. ==History== Kaumakani was officially known as Makaweli (which means ''"fearful features"'' in the Hawaiian language) for over forty years; Makaweli was an ancient land division (''ahupuaa''). In 1914, the Board on Geographic Names ruled that the community was to be named Makaweli, and only in 1956 did it name the CDP Kaumakani. Kaumakani has its own post office, with the ZIP code of 96747.〔(Zip Code 96747 Lookup )〕 In 2008, a small settlement to the west at known as Pakala Village was designated its own CDP,〔 Retrieved October 12, 2010.〕 and has its own post office with code 96769.〔(Zip Code 96769 Lookup )〕 Makaweli Landing at Pākala was called Robinson's Landing, since the family of Aubrey Robinson ran a private ferry to their island of Niihau. ''Pākala'' means "the sun shines" in Hawaiian. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kaumakani, Hawaii」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
