Ewa Villages is a housing development and a
census-designated place located in the Ewa District and the
City & County of Honolulu on the leeward side of
Oahu in
Hawaii some twenty miles from downtown
Honolulu. As of the
2000 census, the CDP had a total population of 4,741.This area was previously known as Ewa (in
Hawaiian, ewa means "crooked"). In the late
1800s to early
1900s, Ewa was one of the large population centers on the Island of Oahu, with industry focused around
sugar cane production. The Ewa Mill was a major employer that set up residential villages within Ewa (from which the modern name arose). Sugar cane is no longer grown on the Ewa Plain and Ewa is now one of Oahu's suburban growth centers—an area of substantial sprawl spreading unbroken to
Ewa Gentry and
Ewa Beach on the south,
Kalaeloa on the southwest, and
Kapolei on the west. This area is now referred to as Oahu's Second City, with a city center (downtown) located in Kapolei.
