Located on the island of Maui, Kula is a residential and agricultural district located entirely on the slopes of a now-dormant volcano, Haleakala. Although its last eruption was in the late 18th Century, Haleakala is not yet considered geologically extinct. The knowledge that the volcano could wake up and shrug its shoulders any time it pleases offers an edge of excitement to living in Kula.
The Hawaiian constitution only provides for two levels of government -- state and county -- so the boundaries of neighborhoods, villages and towns can be a little hard to pin down. Kula is a district that is defined based on ancient land use principles of the Hawaiian culture; such districts are known as moku. Like the other 11 moku on Maui, the Kula district extends from sea to mountaintop, encompassing all the various microclimates that such altitude differences -- from sea level to nearly 10,000 ft. -- entail.
