Hilo is the largest city on Hawaii's Big Island and serves as the seat of Hawaii County. Located on the eastern coast of the island, the city is known for its rich cultural heritage, dramatic waterfalls, and lush tropical landscape. The area receives significant rainfall throughout the year, contributing to its verdant surroundings and earning it the nickname "America's Wettest City."
Hilo's downtown area features historic buildings dating back to the early 1900s and maintains its character as a traditional Hawaiian town. The city has deep roots in both Native Hawaiian culture and the plantation era, reflected in its architecture and cultural institutions.
Hilo is home to the Imiloa Astronomy Center, which bridges Hawaiian cultural traditions with modern astronomy, acknowledging the significant role of Mauna Kea in both cultural and scientific contexts.
