The Dole Plantation
James Dole established his pineapple plantation on Oahu in 1890. By the 1930's, Hawaii had become known as the pineapple capital of the world. Today, the company founded by Dole produces over 200,000 tons of pineapple a year. Pineapple is Hawaii's second largest industry, accounting for nearly 75 percent of the world's canned pineapple.
