Heʻeia (He‘eia)
Heeia is a census-designated place comprising several neighborhoods located in the City & County of Honolulu and the Koolaupoko District on the island of Oahu north of Kāneohe. In Hawaiian the words hee ia mean "washed away", alluding to a victory achieved by the populace against others from leeward Oahu, aided by a tsunami that washed the combatants off the shore.
Heeia includes Haikū Valley and Heeia Kea. The population was 5,001 at the 2020 census. The area is almost entirely one of homes and apartments. Parts of Heeia lie along Kāneohe Bay, but public access is non-existent owing to private ownership of the property behind the shore.
Notable in the Heeia area are:
* Haikū Valley, a former United States Coast Guard radio transmitter site with the Haiku Stairs
* Site of the former receiving antenna tower for Station HYPO, the naval cryptanalytic station that did so much toward breaking Japanese naval codes in 1941-1942 that resulted in US victory in the Battle of Midway, seen by most historians as the turning point of the Pacific War. The site of their antenna was He'eia, NOT the site of Station HYPO itself. Station HYPO got its name from the phonetic for the letter "H", because of He'eia where its antenna was sited
* Heeia Fishpond, the largest remaining fishpond on Oahu
Heeia Kea is a community and small, undeveloped valley separated from Heeia by Heeia Marsh and Kealohi Point. Heeia Kea Small Boat Harbor, the only public pier and boat ramp on Kāneohe Bay, is found here. Several fishponds have been restored in recent years. Although fishponds were developed on most of the islands, the largest concentrations were found in Keehi Lagoon, Pearl Harbor, and Kāneohe Bay on Oahu.
The U.S. ZIP code for Heeia and Heeia Kea is the same as for Kāneohe: 96744.

Indigenous peoples have inhabited the Americas for thousands of years. Beginning in 1607, British colonization led to the establishment of the Thirteen Colonies in what is now the Eastern United States. They quarreled with the British Crown over taxation and political representation, leading to the American Revolution and proceeding Revolutionary War. The United States declared independence on July 4, 1776, becoming the first nation-state founded on Enlightenment principles of unalienable natural rights, consent of the governed, and liberal democracy. The country began expanding across North America, spanning the continent by 1848. Sectional division surrounding slavery in the Southern United States led to the secession of the Confederate States of America, which fought the remaining states of the Union during the American Civil War (1861–1865). With the Union's victory and preservation, slavery was abolished nationally by the Thirteenth Amendment.
