1947: The first Aloha Week festivities are held. They were the brainchild of Harry C. Nordmark, who in 1946 was staying at the Volcano house and reading some books of old Hawai'i and became fascinated with its pageantry. He presented the idea to the Junior Chamber of Commerce, and the Bishop Museum offered a loan of $10,000.
1967: The new $5.4 million Kapi'olani interchange of the H-1 freeway opens.
1979: All 228 public schools in Hawai'i are forced to close because of the ongoing UPW strike. The schools were deemed unsanitary. Custodians and refuse workers were among those on strike.
