Richards St.

In the ahupuaʻa of Honolulu, which lies in the moku of Kona here on Oʻahu, stands one of the oldest named streets on the island. We are speaking of Richards St. Reverand William F. Richards arrived in Hawaiʻi in 1823 with the second company of missionaries. At the request of Queen Keōpūolani, Richards was stationed on Maui and helped found the Lāhainā mission. Becoming fluent in Hawaiian, Richards began teaching law, politics and economy to the ruling chiefs. Thanks to his lessons, Richards laid the foundation for Hawaiʻi to transition away from an absolute monarchy. In 1840, during the reign of King Kamehameha III, the Hawaiian Kingdom adopted its first constitution. The 1840’s were instrumental years for the evolution of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Rights for its people, a constitution for its government, a foreign occupation and independence recognition. By the middle of the 19th century, gunboat diplomacy by foreign nations became a greater threat in Hawaiian waters. In the effort to acquire recognition of Hawaiian independence, King Kamehameha III sent commissioners to the United States and to Europe. These included Hawaiian statesman Timoteo Haʻalilio, Reverend William Richards and Scotsman Sir George Simpson. In 1842, the Hawaiian delegation secured the assurance of recognition by the United States and President John Tyler. The following year, both Great Britain and France signed a joint resolution officially recognizing Hawaiʻi’s independence. Did you know? Now you do!
