The Kiahuna Plantation area has an interesting history. 100 yards east of Kiahuna Plantation is the former location of an ancient Hawaiian Temple, known as Kihahouna Heiau. This temple was built under the direction of the second chief of the Koloa community. The walled temple was 90 feet by 130 feet. Three hala-lihilihi-ula trees placed around the perimeter of the naupaka hedge mark the temple’s former location.
The temple was dedicated to four mythological gods of great significance to native Hawaiians. The name Kiahuna is a more recent version of the name Kihahouna. Literally translated the word "Kiahuna" means "the key to a hidden secret".
