footnotes = okinaEwa Gentry is a housing development and, as Ewa Gentry, a census-designated place (CDP) located in the okinaEwa District and the City & County of Honolulu on the leeward side of Ookinaahu in Hawaiokinai about twelve miles (19 km) from Honolulu. As of the 2000 Census, the CDP had a total population of 4,939.

This area was previously known just as okinaEwa (in Hawaiian, "okinaewa" means "crooked"). In the late 1800s to early 1900s, okinaEwa was one of the large population centers on the Island of Ookinaahu, with industry focused around sugar cane production. The okinaEwa Mill, in okinaEwa was a major employer that set up residential villages. Sugar cane is no longer grown on the okinaEwa Plain and okinaEwa Gentry is now part of Ookinaahu's new suburban growth center—an area of substantial sprawl spreading unbroken to the south to okinaEwa Beach, north to Honouliuli, and west to Kalaeloa and Kapolei. This area is now referred to as Ookinaahu's Second City, with a city center (downtown) located in Kapolei.
