Bill > HCR27

This Concurrent Resolution requests the United States Census Bureau to officially change the name of the census-designated place, which is a specific geographic area defined by the Census Bureau for statistical purposes, currently known as Captain Cook on the island of Hawaii to Kaawaloa, a name that reflects the area's historical significance as a thriving Hawaiian village and royal residence prior to its current designation. Additionally, it asks Hawaii County, the local government responsible for the island, to remove all existing place names that refer to Captain Cook. The resolution highlights that the area was named Captain Cook due to the location of its post office in the early 1900s and emphasizes the importance of re-designating it as Kaawaloa to honor Hawaii's rich history.
