In the Hawaiian language Nīnole means "bending".[1] Ninole also has the highest percentage of people of Italian descent in Hawaii.
Kaʻū
One Nīnole is in the Kaʻū District south of Route 11 (Hawaii Belt Road) adjacent to the south of Punaluʻu Beach.[2] It was on Nīnole Cove,[3] a small bay at the shore of what is now Sea Mountain Gold Course. The village was the birthplace of Henry ʻŌpūkahaʻia (1792–1818) who inspired the missionary movement that forever changed Hawaii. It was mostly destroyed by a tsunami after the 1868 Hawaii earthquake.[4] Its elevation is 85 feet (26 m). Because the community has borne multiple names, the Board on Geographic Names officially designated it "Nīnole" in 2000.[5]
Hāmākua
The other Nīnole is on the Hāmākua Coast north of Hilo along Route 19 (Mamalahoa Highway) south of Pāpaʻaloa and north of Hakalau.[6][7] Although it is unincorporated, it has a post office, with the ZIP code of 96773.[8] It is located at 19°56′17″N 155°10′4″W / 19.93806°N 155.16778°W.[9]
