Lanai City, Hawaii

[4] Lāna‘i City experiences a tropical savanna climate (Köppen: As, Trewartha: Asab) with a mostly dry summer season.Lāna‘i was once the home of the pineapple plantation of entrepreneur James Drummond Dole, which spanned over 20,000 acres (81 km2) and employed thousands of workers.Dole owned the entire island for a time, and in the 1920s built Lāna‘i City to house and serve the community of workers.In 1930 model homes for couples featuring two bedrooms, a large living room, a kitchen, with running water, electricity and spacious yards were erected.[8] In 2009, the corporation Castle & Cooke, which had been spun off from the Dole Food Company, announced its intent to demolish much of what remained of the historic district, including homes, a laundromat, and a jailhouse—all dating back to the 1920s—in order to build new commercial structures.
