Palolo, Hawaii

Palolo is a valley and residential neighborhood of Honolulu, Hawaii, United States. It lies approximately four miles east and inland from downtown Honolulu, and less than a mile from Diamond Head. Like many of Hawaii's neighborhoods, Palolo consists of an entire valley. The mauka (mountain-side) of the valley is agricultural in nature. The makai (ocean-side) of the valley ends approximately at Waialae avenue and is densely settled, mostly with single-family homes.

Palolo includes the Kaau Crater, an extinct volcano in the mountains at the back of the valley.

Palolo stream runs through the valley before joining Manoa stream to form the Manoa-Palolo drainage canal, which flows into the Ala Wai Canal.

Palolo Valley is bordered on the mauka end by the Koʻolau Range, to the Koko head (approximately East) side by Wilhelmina Rise, on the makai end by the neighborhood of Kaimuki, and on the Ewa (approximately west) side by Waahila Ridge.

Palolo is ruled by its king, Kalama, who currently resides in Waimanalo. Mark is the king's kahu who oversees the day-to-day business and amusement of the valley citizens.
