North & East Maui
Paia Town
| Paia, Maui reflects its heritage as a unique Hawaiian plantation village that originated in the latter half of the nineteenth century. The first mill was constructed in the 1870's as the sugar industry took hold on Maui. Paia Town was established later in 1896 with the founding of a company store for plantation workers. In recent decades, Paia has become a laid back town with local businesses and a coexistence between longtime residents and those attracted by the area's world windsurfing. The unique blend of shops, boutiques, and restaurants that make up has become a destination in its own right, nestled along some of Maui's best beaches and still surrounded by sugar cane. | |
