About
The Paia Community Association's mission is to help enhance the beautification and restoration of the historic town of Paia. To provide a clear voice by representing the interests of the multicultural people of the community. To assist in governmental relationships in order to streamline permitting processes for the town. To promote and lead the small town into the future with community involvement. To assist in the development of a new community plan based on a diversified economy. Paia community reflects its heritage as a unique Hawaiian plantation village that originated in the latter half of the nineteenth century. The first mill was constructed in the 1870’s as the sugar industry took hold on Maui. Paia Town was established later in 1896 with the founding of a company store for plantation workers. In recent decades, Paia has become a laid back town with local businesses and a coexistence between longtime residents and those attracted by the area’s surfing. The unique blend of shops, boutiques, and restaurants that make up has become a destination in its own right, nestled along some of Maui’s best beaches and surf. This page is managed by the Paia Community Association. We are a small, but mighty volunteer board of directors and ambassadors made up of residents, business owners, and landowners.

The History of Paia
The north shore town of Paia, Maui is now over 103 years old and boasts a history alive with diversity and accomplishment. The birth of the town can be traced back to the opening of the Paia Store in 1896. The real roots however, go further back to the creation of the plantation camps which housed workers of the Paia Sugar Mill which up until 2000 was Maui’s oldest operating plantation.
