Wailuku is a historic town located in Maui County, Hawaii, serving as the county seat and a significant cultural center. Situated at the base of the West Maui Mountains, the town features a blend of Hawaiian history and modern development.

The area holds great cultural significance for Native Hawaiians, with its name "Wailuku" meaning "water of destruction" in Hawaiian, referring to the waters of Iao Stream that flows through the town. The historic district of Wailuku preserves much of its early 20th-century architecture, reflecting its past as a thriving center during Hawaii's sugar plantation era. The town's proximity to the sacred Iao Valley, an important burial ground for Hawaiian aliʻi (royalty), adds to its cultural importance.

Today, Wailuku maintains its role as an administrative center while working to preserve its historic character and cultural heritage through various community initiatives and preservation efforts.
