When was the park, containing the volcano which caused the Kilauea eruption in 1959, established?
Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park Hawaiʻ i Volcanoes National Park, established on August 1, 1916, is an American National Park located in the U.S. state of Hawaii on the island of Hawaii. It encompasses two active volcanoes: Kīlauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, and Mauna Loa, the world's most massive shield volcano. The park delivers scientists insight into the birth of the Hawaiian Islands and ongoing studies into the processes of volcanism. For visitors, the park offers dramatic volcanic landscapes as well as glimpses of rare flora and fauna.
Kamehameha Day Kamehameha Day on June 11 is a public holiday in the state of Hawaii in the United States. It honors Kamehameha the Great, the monarch who first established the unified Kingdom of Hawaiʻ i—comprising the Hawaiian Islands of Niʻ ihau, Kauaʻ i, Oʻ ahu, Molokaʻ i, Lānaʻ i, Kahoʻ olawe, Maui, and Hawaiʻ i. In 1883 a statue of King Kamehameha was dedicated in Honolulu by King David Kalākaua (this was a duplicate, because the original statue was temporarily lost at sea, recovered and is now located in North Kohala, island of Hawai`i.). There are duplicates of this statue in Emancipation Hall at the Capitol Visitor Center in Washington, D.C. and in Hilo, island of Hawai`i.
