Lanai

Lanai is a small island - with a land mass just over 140 square miles and a population of just over 3100 people. It is also known as the Pineapple Island because of its past as an island-wide pineapple plantation.

In 1922, the island was purchase by a company that would eventually become known as the Dole Pineapple Company. They developed the entire island into the world's largest pinapple plantation.
