Abstract

Note: The introductory material which follows is a duplicate of the finding aid for the Hawaiian Sugar Planters’ Association more extensive archive for the Lihue Plantation Company, providing researchers with uniform information across the two collections.

LIHUE PLANTATION COMPANY HISTORY

Lihue Plantation Company originated in 1849 as a partnership between Charles Reed Bishop, Judge William L. Lee, and Henry A. Pierce of Boston. H. Hackfield & Co. served as agents and J.H.B. Marshall was the first plantation manager of record in 1853 and 1854.

The site of the first mill was selected in the valley of the Nawiliwili stream, the same site where the mill stands today. Water power was used to drive the mill rollers, which were iron bound granite crushers brought from China. A centrifugal sugar dryer, ordered from Mr. D.M. Weston in Honolulu, was installed in 1851. Open kettles provided the means for boiling the syrup.

Under the name of Henry A. Peirce & Co., the new company produced a first crop of 108 tons of sugar and 25,847 gallons of molasses. It is interesting to note that the spelling of Peirce varies and is sometimes shown as Pierce. In 1859, a new partnership was formed and the name was changed to the Lihue Plantation Company.

While the laborers in the plantation fields were exclusively Hawaiians, Chinese workers operated the mile. In 1856 and 1857, William Harrison Rice engineered and built the sugar industry’s first irrigation ditch, the ten mile Lihue Ditch that brought water from Kilohana Crater. Mr. Rice became the second plantation manager, at a salary of $400.00 a year, plus a house, firewood and pasture.

Paul Isenberg joined the plantation in 1858, becoming the manager in 1862, at 25 years of age. He managed Lihue for nearly 20 years, until 1878. It was during his management that the company incorporated n 1872.

Improvements in the manufacture of sugar included the installation of an evaporating pan in 1866, an innovation at the time. A new strike pan, with steam pipes as a heat source, was the first use of steam for sugar boiling on Kauai.

The original 3,000 acres of Lihue Plantation increased by 300 acres at Ahukini in 1866. In 1872, 17,000 acres at Hanamaulu were added, which included an excellent water source. Lihue Plantation continued to expand, leasing 30,000 acres at Wailua in 1878.

MS45 Lihue Plantation Co. Ltd., p. 3

A mill was built at Hanamaulu in 1877 for grinding cane grown on the north side of Hanamaulu Gulch. Mr. George Wilcox had brought the mill from Scotland, intending to erect it at Grove Farm. He decided, however, to continue to have his cane ground at Lihue, and sold the mill to Lihue Plantation Company. Mr. A.S. Wilcox took charge of planting and milling the Hanamaulu cane.

In 1878, Carl Isenberg assumed the management of Lihue from his brother Paul, who returned to Germany. While there, Mr. Isenberg arranged for the immigration of 124 men and women to Kauai. In the party was a German forester who quickly started a reforestation program at Lihue Plantation. Originally, much of the plantation had been covered by forest and firewood was consumed in great quantities. In addition, firewood was sent to the Honolulu market and the forest receded dramatically. By 1884, $10,000 had been spent replanting trees.

During this time, other sugar ventures which later became a part of Lihue Plantation Company were started in the area. Judge McBryde planting cane at Eleelearound 1875 and Captain James Makee chartered the Makee Sugar Company at Kapaa in 1877. In 1891, a railway system was constructed at Lihue Plantation to replace the ox carts that transported cane from the many acres of fields to the mills.

Shortly after the turn of the century, nearly 1,600 workers were employed by Lihue Plantation. Japanese, Portuguese, and a few Hawaiian, Korean, and Porto Rican laborers made up the work force. Plantation housing was provided and in 1910, it was reported that the plantation hospital was one of the best in the islands. Several churches and schools, as well as the plantation ranch and dairy also served the plantation communities.

Also in 1910, the irrigation system of Lihue Plantation Company had grown to contain 33 miles of ditches, four miles of tunnels, and 9,900 feet of water bearing flumes. There were 3,517 acres of cane harvested that year, producing 14,765 tons of sugar. A wharf and warehouse at Ahukini provided shipping and storage facilities for the sugar.

Lihue Plantation expanded in 1910 with the purchase of controlling interest in Makee Sugar Company. Expansion again occurred in 1916 when Lihue Plantation and W.F. Sanborn purchased the 6,000 acre Princeville Plantation. In 1922, American Factors, Ltd., successor company to H. Hackfield & Co., acquired control of Lihue Plantation Company with the purchase of 3,026 shares of stock.

In the early 1920s, major improvements were made and the Lihue mill was electrified with power supplied by hydro-electric generators. The Hanamaulu mill was closed in 1920 and some of the equipment was used to improve the Lihue mill, which was grinding cane from Grove Farm and Kipu Plantation as well as its own.

In 1923, a lease of Wailua lands prompted work on a project to bring water from the south branch of the Hanalei River for irrigation and hydro-electric power. In the early 1930s, approximately 100 acres of land had been reclaimed from swamp and bog lands. A record breaking year, 1930, saw a harvest of 36,506 tons of sugar.


In 1933, Lihue Plantation Company became the sole owners of Makee Sugar Company, and the two plantations merged. By 1935, the Lihue and Makee mills had been combined, making a 21-roller mill at Lihue with the capacity to grind 150 tons of cane per hour.

When Mr. Caleb E.S. Burns became manager in 1933, the properties of Lihue Plantation included Makee Plantation Company, Ahukini Railway Co., Nawiliwili Transportation Co., East Kauai Water Co., Princeville Ranch, Waiahi Electric Co., and pineapple lands leased to Hawaiian Canneries.

A new power plant with a 2,000 Kilowatt turbine generator was built a Lihue in 1937. Electricity was brought to all the plantation homes in the Makee division, completing electric service to the whole plantation.

World War II intruded upon Lihue Plantation, as it did on all other plantations, causing labor shortages, night time blackouts, and land and facilities diverted from sugar to military uses. In 1944, 5,000 employees and friends celebrated the excellent harvest in spite of wartime conditions with the first Harvest Home Festival.

With the help of returning veterans, an all time harvest record of 59,417 tons of sugar was set in 1947. Environmental concerns were addressed with the installation of a soot remover at the Lihue factory in 1948. An industrial engineering division of the plantation was created in 1949, charged with finding ways to curtail costs.

Facilities for bulk shipping of sugar were finished in 1950, with a warehouse in Nawiliwili which used electric power shovels to fill sugar containers. In the same year, shortwave radio-telephone transmitters were installed connecting the trains, mill, fields, offices and machine shops.

The recent history of Lihue Plantation has been a record of increasing improvement in the growing and manufacturing of sugar. New cane varieties, innovative irrigation techniques, and efficient milling and shipping operations have contributed to higher sugar yields and greater productivity, keeping Lihue Plantation successful in a highly competitive industry.

MAKEE SUGAR COMPANY HISTORY

In 1877, Capt. James Makee, from Ulupalakua, on Maui, was joined by King Kalakaua and several prominent businessmen in purchasing the Ernest Krull sugar estate on the island of Kauai. The purchase of this land established the Makee Sugar Company at Kapaa. Upon Makee’s death in 1878, his son-in-law, Col. Z.S. Spalding, purchased the majority interest and took over management of the new sugar venture.

W.G. Irwin & Co., served as agents for Makee Sugar until 1887, when C. Brewer & Co., Ltd., became agents. H. Hackfield & Co. took over in 1904, becoming American Factors in 1919.

In 1880, about 190 men were employed on the Kapaa plantation and the crop that year was estimated at 1500 tons of sugar. The mill machinery included a double effect, vacuum pan and centrifugal for drying the sugar. Annual fuel consumption at the mill amounted to 244 tons of coal and 250 cords of firewood.MS45 Lihue Plantation Co. Ltd., p. 5

Installed in 1882, a wire rope tramway brought a steady stream of cane to the mill and by 1889, there were

1,030 workers at Makee producing 5000 tons of sugar a year. Irrigation water was brought to the fields in ditches from mountain streams.

At about the same time that Capt. Makee was starting Makee Sugar, Col. Spalding had purchased land and erected his own sugar mill at Kealia. In 1885, Col. Spalding dismantled the Kapaa mill and moved it to Kealia, where he combined the two factories. Shortly thereafter, Col. Spalding changed to the diffusion process of sugar manufacture. To keep the process continually fed with cane, Makee Sugar Co. instituted the first night manufacture in Hawaii. The factory was outfitted with electric lights and even the fields were lighted for night harvesting, which enabled the new plant to handle 400 tons of sugar every 24 hours.

In 1900, the diffusion plant was changed back to the maceration process and in ten years, a modern nine roller mill was in operation. Power for the mill was generated by burning bagasse as well as hydroelectrically from mountain streams and the company had its own ice plant. Approximately 2000 acres of cane wee harvested in 1914 producing 10,660 tons of sugar.

In 1933, the Lihue Plantation Co. purchased all of the outstanding Makee Sugar Co. stock and in the next year, the Kealia mill was dismantled and combined with the Lihue factory.

Managers at Makee Sugar Co. up to the 1934 merger included Col. Spalding and Messrs. Fairchild, Blaisdell, Wilcox and Wolters.

Updating the material supplied above, Kekaha Sugar Company, also part of American Factors (AMFAC) became part of the Lihue Plantation Company family of sugar operations by the late 1940’s. These two mills continued to operate on Kaua'i until 2000, leaving the Gay & Robinson operation as the only sugar business still in operation at that time.

Various items in this archive have been housed while awaiting archival processing by the Kauai Historical Society, and have now been gathered together to form a collection. In addition, when the Lihue and Kekaha sugar operations came to an end in 2000, a donation of items from Lihue (mainly maps) and Kekaha (more extensive materials) were added to the historical society’s collections. The Lihue Plantation maps are cataloged as separate collection, and the Kekaha records and maps, will be archived as two collections due to the volume of materials. A substantial number of published volumes were also received at that time, and a listing of those items is included with this record. The Society's Library provides access for books and maps in their catalog.

In 2013, another group of Lihue Plantation Company, Kealia Mill, Makee Sugar Company, and Hanamaulu records were gathered together from the long-term storage of the Kaua'i Historical Society's materials after Hurricane Iniki in 1992. This tripled the MS45 Lihue Plantation Co. Ltd., p. 6

size of the collection. This finding aid now comprises all the archival items from our holdings at this time.

Scope and Content

This collection of items is a comprised of various documents, letters, reports and ledgers, photographs and albums, and two movies, from the Lihue Plantation Company, Kealia, Hanamaulu and Makee Sugar operations.

Organization of the records first archived in 2009, was supplemented with the additional materials archived in 2013. These items were added to the existing arrangement.

Documents have been arranged in the following order: from Lihue Plantation first, in folders with descriptive detail in the container list. This material is general in nature, including reports and articles, and Lihue Plantation newsletters.

Following are Makee Sugar Company items: correspondence 1906-1911 – which deals mostly with obtaining supplies to operate a large agricultural endeavor and mill; Makee Homestead Water Users 1927-1947. The Kealia information follows, with ledgers dating from 1880-1882, 1918 and 1920, providing detailed accounting information. With the addition of the 2013 records, these items remained in place, while additions are noted in more detail below.

Researchers will note that while Makee and Kealia were once separate operations, they both became part of Lihue Plantation. Items maintain their designated company names.

Makee Sugar Company business correspondence from late 1900 through 1901 contains copies of outgoing business letters. There are detailed merchandise records for the Makee Store from 1908 through mid-1914; followed by Kealia Store correspondence for 1916 -- some marked Makee, others Kealia, and the

Kealia Store Account journal for 1917 - 1920. General ledgers for Kealia follow: 1880 - 1886, 1888 - 1992, and 1894 - 1889. The larger ledgers are wrapped volumes, as noted in the container list.

Makee Sugar Company time books and payroll information are for the 1934 - 1935 period, mostly for the month of November, broken down into sections. Another time distribution ledger for 1942 - 1944 completes the payroll information for this company. General ledgers follow for 1917 - 1919, 1923 - 1925 -- these items are also wrapped volumes.

The Lihue Plantation Company records section begins with outgoing correspondence copies, covering 1903 - 1909, 1912 - 1914, and some 1918. There are some gaps in this collection.


Ledgers from the Lihue Plantation Company covering payroll follow : beginning in 1900 to 1916, 1918 to early 1920. Some months are missing, see container list for detailed information. These offer interesting detailed data. While the format remains very similar throughout these years, the data is arranged by skill level (mechanics, lunas) followed by ethnicity for the majority of plantation workers, although within those categories, more specific information is sometimes available (such as carpenters, ranch help, ditches, electric plant workers, women, minors, school boys and girls, etc.) Bango (employee) numbers are often present, and are often accompanied by the employee names. Payroll information is given for each employee, along with a monthly summary.

In addition to the Lihue Plantation's payroll books, two "crop time books" for 1917 -1919, and May - December 1917 follow, along with several hui field books covering 1917 - 1922, 1982 - 1983, and 1992-1993 for "carpenters". Two documents which give additional information about the Filipino workers on Kauai are included.

A ledger for Lihue Plantation Company expenditures from October 1884 through March 1889, Lihue Hospital Accounts for 1920 - 1924 and 1921 - 1926 providing billing and patient names and accounting, and railroad expense ledger for 1919 - 1924, listing locomotive expenditures by dates and locations gives insight into the broad range of company operations. Additional accounting records include cash account ledgers and/or trial balances for the time frame 1884 - 1902, 1917 - 1928. There are gaps in this collection. General ledgers cover 1889 - 1893, 1903 - 1919, 1927 - 1934, 1966 - 1967.

Lihue Plantation Company's cattle record for June - December 1919 provides a daily journal of this operation. Land and lease-related drawings, hand drawn diagrams and detailed land data is included in five volumes covering the mid-1930s through 1940s. Detail includes many downtown Lihue, Nawiliwili, Kealia, and Hanamaulu locations. The container list includes more detailed information, but not a complete listing.

Miscellaneous surveys books are next, and the index covers a large number of volumes, of which we have seven in the collection. Mill operations information for Lihue Plantation follows, with this small group of materials dating from 1922 - 2001.Reports on locomotive and steam plow broilers from 1921 - 1933, and a report on the Wailua cane haul bridge from 1967 complete this group of operational materials.

Lihue Plantation kept detailed records on weather on Kauai, including temperature, rainfall and evaporation – gathering this information from many sites from throughout Amfac operations. The field report ledgers are next—covering the years 1958-1994. Broken down by field number, these reports list crop plantings, harvesting, fertilizing, acreages, tonnages, cane varieties and other pertinent data on standardized forms which follow each field for nearly 50 years.

MS45 Lihue Plantation Co. Ltd., p.9

The electrical shop daily log for the years 1990 - 1994 shows details for regular and off-season work.

Lihue Field report ledgers cover 1958 - 1994, and a field diary covers 1928 - 1988. Three field diaries list data for the Hanamaulu, Lihue and Makee Divisions, covering the years 1928-1988 and summarizing the data collected in the field ledgers. Since they all use the same format, cane varieties, acreage, harvesting data, field yields, etc. are easily found and the extent of the sugar crop by years and divisions are clearly displayed. Lihue and Makee volumes also include a report on “record crop for each field” up to 1963.

The development of two hydro-electric power plants by Lihue Plantation Company includes correspondence, proposals, maps, and equipment specifications dating from 1930s through 1999. A wrapped ledger gives power generation and distribution for 1969 - 1986.

Irrigation records include a history of the system, written sometime after 1960, flow measurement rating tables, a collection of field maps showing irrigation schedules, and several folders pertaining to the domestic water system for Kealia.

A collection of administration items from Lihue Plantation Company includes the manager's monthly reports to AMFAC from 1990 - 1992, and weekly staff meeting notes from 1997 - 1998. There are detailed tax depreciation records for Waimea Sugar Mill for the period 1963 - 1968. Several union agreements with ILWU local 142 for 1991 - 1993 follow. Recovery projects after Hurricane Iniki completes these administration records.

A report entitled " R.W. Meyer Sugar Mill Historical American Engineering Record" prepared by Daniel Bluestone in 1978 is included here. This report details the history of the Molokai agricultural operations of Rudolf Wilhelm Meyer, from his arrival in Hawaii in 1850. He raised sugar cane from 1876 - 1889 and built a mill to process his crop. The 53 page document is supplemented by 13 photographs, a set of equipment drawings and a map showing the location of the operation on Molokai.

Three wrapped Lihue Plantation Company ledgers follow : sugar shipment documents for Grove Farm and Lihue Plantations dating from 1912 - 1916; the sugar crop records from 1914 - 1924; and an "all crops record" ledger dated 1931 - 1934.

Hanamaulu Plantation payroll information follows, in monthly ledgers dating form 1905, 1910 - 1916, and 1919, some gaps exist. While the format is a little different from the Lihue Plantation records, the same type of information is available. The “recapulation” which is located at the end of the monthly listing, gives salaries of officers and support staff, as well as a summary of total costs of labor for each month, listing as well the total number of work days. Some “recaps” also include the manufacturing costs as well as the planting and harvesting costs. A close look at data in both Lihue andMS45 Lihue Plantation Co. Ltd., p. 10

Hanamaulu records will show payroll trends for the times, differences in pay rates among groups, pay rates for women, boys and girls, and the patterns of harvest and plantings by the months when those activities occurred, the change in the number of Hawaiian employees over the months of the year, as well as a variety of other employment data.

The Hui fieldwork ledger for Hanamaulu cover 1917 - 1926. An interesting detail provided by this ledger is the bango number, name and signature of the Japanese laborers is included. Another Hanamaulu ledger titled "Labor and Segregation" for 1923 shows expenditures listed by categories such as building repairs, camp cleaning, ditch repairs, firewood, land clearing, mules, ranch, rolling stock, railroads, Ahukini Wharf, etc.And a final wrapped ledger is the Hanamaulu Plantation's cash book for 1910 - 1918.

Lihue Plantation photograph albums and then loose photographs come next. Four albums are included, along with a substantial number of loose photographs. Two films are the final items within this archive. These items are stored in the Kaua'i Historical Society main archive, where temperature control will prevent deterioration.

A list of published materials added to the Kauai Historical Society Library follows on a separate page. They are cataloged into the database, and are available for use within the Society’s offices.

For information regarding the Lihue Plantation Company’s Map Collection, please contact the Kaua’i Historical Society. Approximately 750 catalog records, accounting for over 1100 maps, are presently available. Access the Library catalogfor these records.

The Hawaiian Sugar Planters’ Association, which supplied their members with archival services when sugar was “king”, processed a large number of plantation records before it ceased operations. Those archived records are now available from the University of Hawaii Library, Manoa campus, and include additional Lihue Plantation records. Plantation list and finding aids are available on their website.
