Located between Opunohu and Cook Bays, Pihaena and most of its valley was requisitioned during the American Civil War in the 1860s to become a vast cotton plantation. Local labor was used, but most of the workers came from Canton, China: ancestors of the Chinese who live on the island today. Nowadays, no matter how hard you look, you will be hard pressed to find cotton crops in the area: they have all disappeared from the landscape in favor of pineapple plantations. Anecdotally, the village's pontoon located at KP 12.5 used to be a loading dock for the merchant schooners that came to collect copra.
