As of 2005, Maui has a resident population of 139,884 [1], which is ranked third within the state behind the islands of Oahu and Hawaii. Native Hawaiian tradition gives the origin of the island's name in the legend of Hawai » iloa, the Polynesian navigator attributed with discovery of the Hawaiian Islands. The story relates how he named the island of Maui after his son who in turn was named for the demi-god M ui. According to legend, the demi-god M ui raised all the Hawaiian Islands from the sea. The Island of Maui is also called the "Valley Isle" for the large fertile isthmus between its two volcanoes. Polynesians, from Tahiti and the Marquesas, were the original peoples to populate Maui. The Tahitians introduced the kapu system, a strict social order that affected all aspects of life and became the core of Hawaiian culture. Modern Hawaiian history began in the mid-1700s. King Kamehameha I took up residence (and later made his capital) in L hain after conquering Maui in 1790, during the bloody Battle of Kepaniwai. Sell a home in Maui, selling home in Maui, HI.
