According to vulcanologists with the USGS, the great Ko’olau Series of eruptions sputtered to an inglorious end 70-100 thousand years ago with side-hustles including Punchbowl, Tantalus, Diamond Head, and the Kokos: Head & Crater. Black Point likely appeared between 400-500 thousand years ago and its youth is apparent in its steep, craggy terrain. Jump forward to the 1920s and you see the beginning of its suburbanization, which results today in a primarily-gated, 75 homes on standard to large lots. The in-gate homes have associated and maintain an oceanfront, ocean-fed swimming pool that would be nothing to look at were it not for its location. Historic-to-new homes line roads that feel like they are sized more for donkeys than cars, but hopeful residents eagerly tolerate it to live in this exclusive community.
