The Northshore town of Paia, Maui is now over 103 years old and boasts a history alive with diversity and accomplishment. Den Northshore by Paia, Maui er nu over 103 år gammel og kan prale med en historie i live med mangfoldighed og realisering. The birth of the town can be traced back to the opening of the Paia Store in 1896. Fødslen af byen kan spores tilbage til åbningen af Paia Store i 1896. The real roots however, go further back to the creation of the plantation camps which housed workers of the Paia Sugar Mill which up until 2000 was Maui's oldest operating plantation. De reelle rødder går imidlertid længere tilbage til oprettelsen af beplantning lejre, der husede arbejderne i Paia Sugar Mill, der indtil 2000 var på Maui ældste fungerende plantage. The mill opened in 1880 and the store was eventually built to support the needs of the immigrant sugar workers. Møllen åbnede i 1880 og butikken blev til sidst bygget til at understøtte behovene hos de indvandrede sukker arbejdere.
The sugar mill's success attracted workers from many different cultures and races who came to work in the mill or nearby cane fields. Det sukker mill succes tiltrak arbejdere fra mange forskellige kulturer og racer, der kom for at arbejde i møllen eller i nærheden af sukkerrør felter. Many people of varied backgrounds converged in Paia and the history of the town was written. Mange mennesker af forskellige baggrunde konvergeret i Paia og byens historie blev skrevet. Paia's people were a mix of Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean Puerto Ricans, Portuguese, and Native Hawaiian who lived and worked together in harmony. Paia folk var en blanding af kinesisk, filippinsk, japansk, koreansk puertoricanere, portugisisk og Native Hawaiian der boede og arbejdede sammen i harmoni.
The town continued to grow throughout the early 1900's building schools, churches, stores and a hospital. Byen fortsatte med at vokse i hele begyndelsen af 1900 bygge skoler, kirker, butikker og et hospital. The population also continued to grow and during this period, the population of Paia was more than 10,000 people, comprising over one-fifth of Maui's entire population. Befolkningen fortsatte også med at vokse, og i løbet af denne periode var befolkningen i Paia mere end 10.000 mennesker, bestående over en femtedel af Mauis hele befolkningen.
Paia did have its share of disasters. Paia havde sin andel af katastrofer. The first was a catastrophic fire that broke out in July 1930 and devastated the town. Den første var en katastrofal brand, der brød ud i juli 1930, og hærgede byen. The flames ripped through Paia destroying the majority of the structures and left more than 150 homeless. Flammerne rippet gennem Paia ødelægge størstedelen af strukturerne og efterlod mere end 150 hjemløse. Relief groups were organized and the people came together to rebuild their home better than it was before. Relief grupper blev organiseret og folk kom sammen for at genopbygge deres hjem bedre, end det var før.
In April 1946, Paia experienced the largest tsunami in Hawaii's recorded history, which was the result of an earthquake originating in the Aleutian Islands. I april 1946 oplevede Paia største tsunamien i Hawaiis historien, som var resultatet af et jordskælv med oprindelse i Aleuterne. Although 159 people lost their lives throughout the Hawaiian Islands, Paia only had one death. Selvom 159 mennesker mistede livet i hele Hawaii-øerne, Paia havde kun ét dødsfald. The town did suffer extremely extensive property damage and thus Paia launched into another rebuilding period. Byen har lidt ekstremt omfattende skader på ejendom og dermed Paia lanceret i en anden ombygning periode.
After Paia's rebuilding, workers in the Paia Sugar Mill which was the majority of the population began to abandon “camp life” which had been the lifestyle of the sugar workers since the beginnings of the plantation. Efter Paia s ombygning, begyndte arbejderne i Paia Sugar Mill som var størstedelen af befolkningen til at opgive "lejr liv", som havde været den livsstil af sukker arbejdere siden begyndelsen af plantagen. They moved to Kahului (then called “Dream City”) and Wailuku where they could buy their own homes. De flyttede til Kahului (dengang kaldet "Dream City"), og Wailuku, hvor de kunne købe deres egne hjem. People were encouraged to make this move and the town's population rapidly decreased to 1,500. Folk blev opfordret til at tage dette skridt, og byens befolkning hurtigt faldet til 1.500. The camps were gone and more cane fields were planted in their former locations. Lejrene var væk, og flere sukkerrør felter blev plantet i deres tidligere placeringer.
In 1978 a group of young guys discovered the perfect windsurf conditions at Ho'okipa Beach Park in Paia. I 1978 en gruppe af unge fyre opdagede de perfekte windsurf forholdene på Ho'okipa Beach Park i Paia. From that day forth, Paia began to develop its reputation for being the “Windsurf Capital of the World”. Fra denne dag frem, begyndte Paia at udvikle sit ry for at være den "Windsurf Capital of the World". As word quickly spread, in the '80's and '90's Paia saw an influx of windsurf enthusiasts from around the world searching for the windsurf mecca they had heard countless stories about. Da rygtet spredtes hurtigt i '80 's og '90' s Paia oplevede en tilstrømning af windsurf-entusiaster fra hele verden søger efter den windsurf mekka de havde hørt utallige historier om. Many of them moved to the Paia area. Mange af dem flyttet til Paia området.
Today Paia continues to grow with all different people moving in from throughout the world. Dag Paia fortsætter med at vokse med alle de forskellige mennesker bevæger sig i fra hele verden. Paia has seen countless changes in the past 10 years and as change is inevitable will continue to do so in the future. Paia har set utallige ændringer i de seneste 10 år, og da ændringen er uundgåelig, vil fortsætte med at gøre det i fremtiden. Hopefully our town will remain the quaint “country town” it has become. Forhåbentlig vores by vil forblive den folkloristisk "land by" det er blevet.
