Hilo District, Hawaii

(Redirected from South Hilo)

Hilo is a moku or district on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi in the State of Hawaii, U.S.A. In the current system of administration of Hawaiʻi County, the moku of Hilo is divided into North Hilo District (Hilo ‘Akau) and South Hilo District (Hilo Hema).

Hilo is located on the eastern, windward side of the island, enjoying abundance of rainfall, and therefore includes the island's most populated town, also called Hilo. [1]

(3) North Hilo and (2) South Hilo Districts are located in the east coast of Hawaii County (the Big Island). They are bordered by Hamakua District (4) in the north, and by Kau District (9) in the south and Puna District (1) in the southeast. The far inland areas are largely unpopulated, being forest reserves on the slopes of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa.
