Kaʻū

One Nīnole is in the Kaʻū District south of Route 11 (Hawaii Belt Road) adjacent to the south of Punaluʻu Beach.[2] It was on Nīnole Cove,[3] a small bay at the shore of what is now Sea Mountain Golf Course. The village was the birthplace of Henry ʻŌpūkahaʻia (1792–1818) who inspired the missionary movement that forever changed Hawaii. It was mostly destroyed by a tsunami after the 1868 Hawaii earthquake.[4] Its elevation is 85 feet (26 m). Because the community has borne multiple names, the Board on Geographic Names officially designated it "Nīnole" in 2000.[5]

Hāmākua

The other Nīnole is on the Hāmākua Coast north of Hilo along Route 19 (Māmalahoa Highway) south of Pāpaʻaloa and north of Hakalau.[6][7] Although it is unincorporated, it has a post office, with the ZIP code of 96773.[8] It is located at 19°56′17″N 155°10′4″W.[9]

gollark: It uses two steps: BPE (ish) and asymmetric numeral systems (brokenly).
gollark: As far as I know, the only person who is likely to have actually worked out how my compressor works is Olive, but I assure you that it's moderately weird.
gollark: That and the giant binary blobs.
gollark: LyricLy claims that it was obviously mine because of the formatting and use of numpy. This is wrong and ridiculous. The real reason it was obviously mine is that it does the usual gollark thing of just implementing a weird algorithm and not doing much else.
gollark: They scheduled it for 24 hours, bee.
