Kamalō Sugar Plantation
The Kamalō Sugar Plantation was a sugarcane plantation and mill located in Kamalō, Molokai. It ceased operations before the 1906 founding of the California and Hawaiian Sugar Company.[1][2]
History
The Kamalō Sugar Plantation was founded by Irish-born businessman John C. McColgan (1814-1890) in 1873. In July of that year, he was reported to have leased a 4,000-acre tract of land from the late King Kamehameha V's estate that was located between Kaunakakai and Kalua‘aha. The mill and plantation were managed by McColgan's cousins, the Irish-born brothers Hugh McCorriston (1836-1926) and Daniel McCorriston (1840-1927). [1][3][4]
The mill equipment for the Kamalō Sugar Plantation was the same as used at McColgan's sugarcane plantation located in Waiau, O‘ahu. [3]
The Kamalō Sugar Plantation began exporting sugar to California in the 1880s, with a reported shipment of 353 bags aboard the SS Mariposa (1883) in September of 1884.[5]
Upon McColgan's death in 1890, ownership of the Kamalō Sugar Plantation passed in part to the McCorriston brothers.[6]
The Fire of 1891
On August 7, 1891, the Kamalō Sugar Plantation burned to the ground due to unknown causes. The mill and plantation were insured for $25,000, and the land turned to cattle ranching.[6][7]
