Looking for information about former community in Ka Lea (southernmost point of US in HI.)?

Question

Recently visited Ka Lea, on the island of Hawaii. It is the southern most point in the United States. It is obvious that at one point there was a rather substantial community there. I'm thinking it may have been a military installation of some kind. There weren't any Japanese internment camps in HI - that was my husband's thought. I've tried Google, but can't find anything.

Answer 1

You mean Ka Lae. Until 1965 we had a missile tracking station there.
