Wahiawa, HI 96786
Wahiawa, Hawaii
Tenant Credit Report Service
Wahiawā is a
census-designated place and town located
more or less in the center of Oahu Island,
on the plateau or "central valley" between
the two volcanic mountains that comprise the
island. It is in the small, Wahiawa District
and the City & County of Honolulu. In
Hawaiian, wahi a wā means "place of noise",
perhaps a reference to the fact that once
upon a time, heavy surf on the distant coast
could be heard here. As of the 2000 Census,
the CDP had a total population of 16,151.
Lakes and reservoirs are rare in Hawaii, and
Wahiawā is at once unique in being
surrounded on three sides by Lake Wilson
(also known as Wahiawā Reservoir or
Kaukonahua). The town must be accessed by
either of two bridges on Kamehameha Highway
(State Rte. 80) across the narrow north and
south arms of the reservoir. Outside of the
reservoir, the town used to be surrounded by
military bases and agricultural fields, but
development is making its way up from the
increasingly urbanized southern portion of
the central plain. Still, there are
significant U.S. Army facilities here,
including Schofield Barracks, Wheeler Army
Airfield, and East Range, an Army training
area extending into the hills south and east
of town. Schofield Barracks alone is larger
than Wahiawā.
The U.S. postal code for Wahiawā is 96786.
