Hōnaunau, Hawaii

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hōnaunau (also spelled Honaunau) is an unincorporated community on the island of Hawaii in Hawaii County, Hawaii, United States. It lies just off Hawaii Route 11 on the other side of the island from Hilo, the county seat of Hawaii County.[1] Its elevation is 52 feet (16 m), and it is located at 19°25′37″N, 155°54′47″W (19.4269444, -155.9130556). Because the community has borne multiple names, the Board on Geographic Names officially designated it "Honaunau" in 1914 and 1954 before changing to the current spelling in 2000.[2] Although it is unincorporated, it has a post office, with the ZIP code of 96726.[3]
