District in Hawaii, United States From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ʻEwa was one of the original districts, known as moku, of the island of Oʻahu in Ancient Hawaii history.
The word ʻewa means "crooked" or "ill-fitting" in Hawaiian.[1] The name comes from the myth that the gods Kāne and Kanaloa threw a stone to determine the boundaries, but it was lost and later found at Pili o Kahe.[2]
ʻEwa is used in Honolulu to indicate the western direction, in opposition to Diamond Head for the eastern direction.
