| • | Kāneohe is a town and census-designated place (CDP) included in the City & County of Honolulu and located in Hawaii state District of Koolaupoko on the Island of Oahu. In the Hawaiian language, kāne ohe means "bamboo man" (from an ancient story). As of the year 2000, the CDP had a total population of 34,970. Kāneohe is the largest of several communities along Kāneohe Bay and one of the two largest residential communities on the windward side of Oahu (the other is Kailua). The commercial center of the town is spread mostly along Kamehameha Highway.From ancient times, Kāneohe was important as an agricultural area, owing to an abundance of rainfall. Today, Kāneohe is mostly aresidential community, with very little agriculture in evidence. The only commercial crop of any consequence in the area is banana. Features of note are Hoomaluhia Botanical Garden and the new Hawaii National Veterans Cemetery. Access to Kāneohe Bay is mainly from the public pier and boat ramp located at nearby Heeia Kea. Access to Coconut Island (restricted) is from the state pier off Lilipuna Drive. Marine Corps Base Hawaii lies across the south end of Kāneohe Bay from the central part of Kāneohe, although the town stretches along Kāneohe Bay Drive to the base perimeter.
The U.S. Postal Code for Kāneohe is 96744. High school students from the surrounding area attend James B. Castle High School. Windward Community College, part of the expanding state college system, is located on the south side of central Kāneohe. Hawaii Pacific University has a campus just east of town on Kamehameha Highway near Castle Junction.
There are three golf courses in Kāneohe: Pali Golf Course (public), Koolau Golf Club (privately owned but open to the public), and Bayview Golf Park (privately owned but open to the public).
