 Definition of Aliiolani Hale
In the Hawaiian language, Ali'iolani Hale means House of the Heavenly King; the name "Ali'iolani" was one of the given names of Kamehameha V. Although the building was designed to be a palace, Kamehameha V realized that the Hawaiian government desperately needed a government building.
It was from Ali'iolani Hale that in 1893 the Committee of Safety, under the leadership of Lorrin A. Thurston, deposed Queen Lili'uokalani by public proclamation and the United States Marine Corps was ordered to forcibly remove the reigning queen.
Ali'iolani Hale is one of many buildings in downtown Honolulu that is designated a National Historic Landmark on the National Register of Historic Places.
