Hawaii Ghost Towns

Hawaii’s ghost towns are unlike any others in the United States. Sugar plantation towns, pineapple camp communities, and fishing villages that thrived in the 19th and early 20th centuries were left behind as the plantation economy collapsed and populations shifted to the islands’ urban centers. Many of Hawaii’s abandoned communities sit in dramatic volcanic landscapes, their ruins slowly being reclaimed by lush tropical vegetation.
