Parker Ranch -: Waimea was once a cowboy town where the cowboys - the paniolos - of the massive Parker Ranch roamed. That was in the last century when the ranch covered over 200,000 ha. Now it is only 91,125 ha but it is still one of the largest ranches in the United States.The story of the Parker Ranch is one of the great adventures. John Palmer Parker was a shipâs clerk from Massachusetts, who jumped ship in 1809. King Kamehameha gave him the job of maintaining the fish ponds at Honaunau. He went walkabout shortly afterwards but returned permanently in 1814. At the time a problem had arisen with wild cattle. A small herd had been landed in 1793 and had gone bush. Wild cattle and horses were wandering all over the island. Kamehameha gave Parker permission to shoot the cattle and sell the meat and hides. Parker managed the business for the king and, by taking his pay in live animals, swiftly built up his own herds. He married Kamehamehaâs granddaughter Kipikane. He moved to the village of Waimea in 1835, establishing his homestead at Mana. Mexican, Native American, and Spanish cowboys were brought to the island to round up the horses and cattle. Their style, skill and equipment was taken up by the Hawaiians who called themselves paniolos - from Espaoles or Spaniards. Although there were setbacks the ranch grew until under Thelma Parker at the turn of the century it was one of the worldâs great ranches. The last Parker left the remains of the ranch to a charitable trust and it now runs some 55,000 cattle. You can learn more about the history of the ranch at the Parker Ranch Visitor Center, located in the Parker Ranch Shopping Center in central Waimea.
