| Warren & Levi Jr. , Chamberlain began a sugar mill operation in 1864. They supplied sugar for the Northern States during the Civil War. The South had cut off all sugar production in the states to the North forcing them to import it from the islands. The prosperity ended with the end of the Civil War and the Chamberlains surrendered the mill to the bank in 1870. In 1875 a grower, Robert Halstead, bought the operation and he and his two sons ran the mill under the name of the Halstead Brothers. They hauled sugar to the coast by mule or oxen and then shipped it by steamer. The mill was abandoned in 1899 by succumbing to the much larger Waialua Sugar Mill.
