Biographical History
Kapiʻolani (December 31, 1834 – June 24, 1899) was the queen of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi as the consort of her second husband Mōʻī (king) Kalākaua, who reigned from 1874 to 1891 until Kalākaua's death when she became known as the Dowager Queen Kapiʻolani. Kapi'olani was also sister-in-law to Liliʻuokalani, the last sovereign monarch of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
Deeply interested in the health and welfare of Native Hawaiians, Kapiʻolani established the Kapiʻolani Home for Girls, for the education of the daughters of residents of the Kalaupapa Leprosy Settlement, and the Kapiʻolani Maternity Home (now Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women and Children) where Hawaiian mothers and newborns could receive care.
Kapiʻolani Park, established through lands donated by the Queen's husband Kalākaua, was also named after her. Kapiʻolani's namesake was her great-aunt High Chiefess Kapiʻolani
