History

In ancient Hawaii, the Battle of Kīpapa Gulch was said to have taken place at Kīpapa Gulch in Waipiokinao. Mailekukahi (the mōokinaī of Ookinaahu at the time). The battle began at Waikakalaua Gulch in the adjacent ahupuaokinaa of Waikele. It eventually made its way into Kīpapa Gulch. The raiding party was defeated, and it is said that the gulch was "paved with the corpses of the slain."
