Heeia, Hawaii

He'eia is comprised of several neighborhoods located in the City & County of Honolulu and the Ko'olaupoko District on the Island of O'ahu that are essentially the north end of Kāne'ohe. In Hawaiian the words he'e 'ia mean washed away, alluding to a victory achieved by the populace against others from leeward O'ahu, aided by a tsunami that washed the combatants off the shore.

He'eia includes Ha'ikū Valley and He'eia Kea. As of the 2000 Census, the neighborhood had a total population of 4,944. The area is almost entirely one of homes and apartments. If the census tract corresponds to the State Tax Map Key (TMK), then the Windward Mall and Kaneohe Bay Shopping Center comprise the commercial district, although He'eia merges into the Kāne'ohe commercial district at this point. Parts of He'eia lie along Kāne'ohe Bay, but public access is non-existent owing to private ownership of the property behind the shore. Notable in the He'eia area are:
