History
1
Ester Julia Kapiolani, granddaughter of Kaumuali'i, the last King of Kaua'i, was the widow of Namakaeha and married King David Kalākaua in 1863. As a gift, he built Kapi'olani Park in Waikīkī in her honor. Deeply concerned about the moribund Hawaiian population, she established a maternity hospital that stands today as Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women & Children.
