Ocean Pointe (Ocean Pointe)
Ocean Pointe is a housing development and a census-designated place (CDP) located in the Ewa District and the City & County of Honolulu on the leeward side of Oahu in Hawaii about 15 mi from Honolulu. As of the 2010 Census, the CDP had a total population of 8,361. This general area was previously known just as Ewa. In the late 19th century to early 20th century, Ewa was one of the large population centers on the Island of Oahu, with industry focused around sugar cane production. The Ewa Mill was a major employer that set up residential villages. Sugar cane is no longer grown on the Ewa Plain and Ocean Pointe is now part of Oahu's new suburban growth center—an area of substantial sprawl spreading unbroken to the south to Ewa Beach, north to Honouliuli, and west to Kalaeloa and Kapolei. This area is now referred to as Oahu's Second City, with a city center (downtown) located in Kapolei.
Ocean Pointe is located at 21°18'38" North, 158°2'11" West (21.310556, -158.036389), inland from Ewa Beach on the west side of the main thoroughfare, Fort Weaver Road (Hawaii Route 76). This highway runs north past Ewa to Waipahu, connecting there to Farrington Highway (State Rte. 90) and the H-1 freeway. A major cross street is Kapolei Parkway, which connects to Kapolei City Center.
More specifically, the CDP is located west of Fort Weaver Road, south of Keaunui Drive, east and south of Essex Road, north of the Pacific Ocean, north of Pupu Place, west of Pupu Street, and north of Papipi Road (not including Papipi Drive, however). According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 2.14 sqmi, of which 2.03 sqmi is land and 0.11 sqmi is covered by water.

Indigenous peoples have inhabited the Americas for thousands of years. Beginning in 1607, British colonization led to the establishment of the Thirteen Colonies in what is now the Eastern United States. They quarreled with the British Crown over taxation and political representation, leading to the American Revolution and proceeding Revolutionary War. The United States declared independence on July 4, 1776, becoming the first nation-state founded on Enlightenment principles of unalienable natural rights, consent of the governed, and liberal democracy. The country began expanding across North America, spanning the continent by 1848. Sectional division surrounding slavery in the Southern United States led to the secession of the Confederate States of America, which fought the remaining states of the Union during the American Civil War (1861–1865). With the Union's victory and preservation, slavery was abolished nationally by the Thirteenth Amendment.
