Kaimuki, Hawaii was an old town once used as King Kalakaua's ostrich farm, where they roamed wild over the current mountain side. It later became the site of the state's carnation farm for funeral flowers. Now a mix of residential area with a small business district (mainly restaurants and service industries), it continues the urbanized Honolulu region to Kahala, Hawaii.

Kaimuki got its name from a hot oven. It was once pronounced Ka-imu-ki; imu meaning oven. Kaimuki was known as a very hot area.
