| Julie Judd Swazy (1860 - 1941) was owner of the Kuoloa Ranch on the windward side of Oahu. Across the road from the ranch she developed a private picnic and recreation area called 'Apua. In the 1920's the State tried to condemn the property and make a public park of 'Apua. Julie won by giving the State land at Ka'a'awa further up the coast in return for dropping the plans. However after her death in 1941 a park was created at 'Apua and named the Julie Judd Swanzy Park. Submitted by: Mike Woodfin |
