Big Island Vacation Guide 2009 - (Page 25) North The northernmost section of the island of Hawai‘i marks the spot where King Kamehameha was born. Reminders of the great ruler are found all over the area. This is also paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy) country, a great place to saddle up for a ride. Whether by horseback or hiking boots, the beauty of the North side is worth every step.

John Palmer Parker, a Massachusetts seaman whose fortuitous marriage to King Kamehameha’s granddaughter came with 640 acres, started the ranch in the middle of the 19th century. Approximately 135,000 acres, the property is now one of the larger cattle ranches in the United States. There’s still a ranch-town atmosphere that flavors the many restaurants, gift shops and cowboy clothing stores that have sprung up to service this fast growing community.
