In 1975, land on either side of Hapa Trail contained eighteen percent (18%) of all the intact archaeological sites in the State of Hawai'i. Development between Waikomo Stream and west of Hapa Trail obliterated over 600 of these sites.They were replaced by a golf course, residential house lots, and townhouse projects.
