The Pineapple was first introduced into Hawaii in the early 1800's by Don Francisco de Paula y Marin, the Spanish advisor to King Kamehameha I.

Commercial pineapple plantations were established in the late 19th century and ushered in the Plantation Era of Hawaiian history. Pineapple fields still dot the Hawaiian landscape today and remind us of Old Hawaii.
