The first settlers, Polynesians, probably arrived on Kauai around 800 AD. The islanders enjoyed a healthy environment overall, even though they lived under the rigid kapu system of rules. The island prospered under a succession of ruling alii (kings and chiefs). The Hawaiians knew nothing about the world beyond their shores until Captain James Cook came ashore at Waimea in January, 1778. Kauai remained independent until 1810, when King Kaumualii conceded the island to Kamehameha the Great in order to avoid the devastation and bloodshed of war. Thus, Kauai was the only island that Kamehameha did not conquer in battle and it was the last to recognize and join a united kingdom of Hawaii.
