Editing Hawaiian Ocean View, Hawaii (section)

==History==
The HOVE development consisted of 10,697 {{convert|1|acre|m2|adj=on}} lots north of the [[Hawaii Belt Road]] in the western part of the [[Kau, Hawaii|District of Ka{{okina}}ū]]. The terrain varies from rugged lava fields to [[Ohia|ohi{{okina}}a]] trees and other vegetation. Elevation ranges from about {{convert|1500|ft|m|abbr=on}} up to the {{convert|5000|ft|m|adj=on}} level. Initial sales began in the late 1950s. The original developer of HOVE was the Crawford Oil Company. Later, other subdivisions were put in place downslope of HOVE and the [[Hawaii Belt Road]]. In the early 1980s a service station and a hardware store were built.

In 1989 the Ocean View Town Center was developed, and the Ocean View Road Maintenance Corporation began an extensive rebuilding program of the roads. Shortly thereafter the Ocean View Development Corporation started a new market which included a [[laundromat]] and restaurant. Ocean View now has two shopping centers.<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20050314131242/http://www.southpointhawaii.com/subdivision_HOVE.htm HOVE information]}} at the South Point web site</ref>

In January 2004, [[Hawaii Volcanoes National Park]] purchased the nearby property previously known as Kahuku Ranch.<ref>[http://www.kauchamber.org Ka{{okina}}u Chamber of Commerce web site]</ref>

Ocean View has a [[post office]] with the [[ZIP code]] of 96737.<ref>[http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/citytown_zip.jsp US Post Office Zip Code lookup]</ref>  The USPS does not provide street delivery of mail except on Mamalahoa Highway.{{citation needed|date=July 2021}} It is, therefore, difficult to get confirmation of a Street address for mail order companies to send purchases.
