Kamakahonu, the residence of King Kamehameha I, is located at Kailua-Kona on Hawaiʻi. King Kamehameha, who unified the Hawaiian Islands, lived out the last years of his life and instituted some of the most constructive measures of his reign (1810-1819) here. The residential compound includes the personal heiau of the King [ [http://www.nr.nps.gov/writeups/66000288.nl.pdf NHL Summary page] ] .
