But though it has this status, it does not have the status of being an incorporated city. Because of this Maui does not have a capital, and officially there is no Capital of Maui.

Wailuku is basically a line of villages of small size which are situated near the West Maui Mountains. The whole of Wailuku includes the Wailuku town, Waihe'e, Waiehu, Waikapu, and Ma'alaea. In the ancient times, there were two temples which had the responsibility of guarding and protecting Wailuku. These temples are still there, and when you go to the top you can have a fantastic view of the whole of the city itself, as well as the country side. It was in Wailuku that a number of famous citizens of Maui were born. These famous citizens include Jesse Kuhaulua, who is a sumo champion and is also known as Takamiyama, as well as Keopuolani, who was a wife of Kamehameha the Great, and the most sacred of all his wives.
