Maui

Maui was a Hawaiian island chiefdom whose high chief also ruled Lanai. In the early fourteenth century Kalaunuiohua of Hawai'i invaded Maui and carried off its chief; for generations the chiefs of Hana held the eastern part separately.

Around the sixteenth century Pi'ilani united Maui and began a paved road around the island, later completed by his son Kiha-a-Pi'ilani. Kahekili II conquered O'ahu in 1783, but a succession war divided Maui. In 1795 Kamehameha took the island, adding it to the Kingdom of Hawai'i.
