Ali’iolani Hale

Ali'iolani Hale was named in honor of King Kamehameha V who initiated the planning and construction of this historic site as the official palace which was completed in 1874. After King Kalakaua built a new palace, 'Iolani Palace, this building was redesigned to house the Legislature and the Supreme Court. Today, the State Supreme Court still convenes in these same historic courtrooms and is the oldest government building in Hawaii.
