Diacretical spelling provided by Kaupo natives Wilhelmina Marciel Atai (personal communication) and Nahale Piimauna (via the book "Sites of Maui").

Following a visit to Waiuha in 1929, archaeologist Winslow Walker reported finding the ruins of six fishermen's huts and canoe sheds, a large stone used for grinding adzes, and a stone-lined well. According to Walker, people last lived at Waiuha around 1910.

An article in the newspaper Ka Hae Hawaii on July 23, 1856, describes a canoe capsizing shortly after setting out from Waiuha for Hawaii Island.
