The history of today

OCTOBER 1

1870: The first issue of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser is published under its new ownership. Henry Whitney, who started the paper in 1856, had sold it to Black & Auld.

1909: Makapu'u's new navigation light is lit for the first time. The Matson steamship Hilonian was the first ship to pass the point after the light was turned on.

1917: The Halekulani Hotel is opened by Clifford Kimball.

1967: United and Pan Am airlines begin service from the Mainland to Hilo.

1993: A Circuit Court jury rules that Hawai'i taxpayers, not U.S. Steel, will have to pay nearly all of the costs of repairing the rust at Aloha Stadium. State attorneys failed to convince the jury that U.S. Steel was deceptive when it convinced the state to use "weathering steel" on the stadium, which opened in 1975.
