Welcome to Kapolei, Hawaii.
Kapolei, Hawaii, despite its status as an incorporated community within the City and County of Honolulu in Hawaii, is designated as an unofficial city on the island of Oahu colloquially called The Second City. The name "kapolei" is derived from that of a nearby cinder cone: Pu'u o Kapolei - in Hawaiian, pu'u meaning "hill" and kapo lei meaning "beloved Kapo"

Associated with Kapolei are the previously developed communities of Makakilo and Barbers Point Naval Air Station (now Kalaeloa), the industrial area known as Campbell Industrial Park (industrial area of O'ahu) with its deepwater port, Barbers Point Harbor, and the resort community of Ko Olina (formerly West Beach).
Kapolei is located at the southern end of the slopes of the Wai'anae mountain near the town of Makakilo. It is located on the 'Ewa Plain approximately 25 miles from Honolulu. The Interstate H-1 freeway divides more recently developed Kapolei from Makakilo, and traveling eastward on H-1 connects to Waipahu.
