What began as a one- man operation on Oahu in 1901 by James D. Dole, turned into a business that grew a thousand-fold and became Hawaii’s second most important industry (next to sugar). While the Spanish are thought to have introduced the pineapple to Hawaii in the 1500’s, credit goes to James Dole for discovering that the fruit grew very well on his farm in Wahiawa, on Oahu. Known as one of the most influential pineapple industrialists in the world, Dole began the first pineapple business in 1901 by converting his 44-by-80 foot barn into a cannery. He called the business the Hawaiian Pineapple Company. Sanford Dole, the cousin of James, had been president of the Republic of Hawaii from 1894 after the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii (her last monarch, Queen Lili’uokalani), and first governor of the Territory of Hawaii until 1903 ���������������������������������������������� Est. $200-300 SCRIPOPHILY - FOOD & DRINKS Delaware 663 663 Burger King Holdings, Inc. 2006 Specimen Stock Certificate.
