The Polynesians came and settled in the Hilo area in the year 1100 A.D. In 1820, American missionaries arrived in Hilo. Waiākea was the main settlement on Hilo Bay in 1823. The Waiākea Mission, called Haili Church, was the first church in eastern Hawaii island, founded in 1824. In 1869, a small parish school of 42 students was established in Hilo for the purpose of teaching English to native Hawaiians. The school was named St. Joseph.
