During the reign of King [[Kamehameha I]], the island of [[Kauaʻi]] was the last of the Hawaiian islands to join Kamehameha's [[Kingdom of Hawaiʻi]]. The ruler, [[Kaumualii]], resisted Kamehameha for years, surviving two attempts to invade Kaua'i.

Anahola is the site of an ancient surfing area, ''Ka-nahā-wale'', which literally translates to "easily broken".<ref>Pukui, Mary Kawena. ''Place Names of Hawaii''. University of Hawaii Press. {{ISBN|0-8248-0524-0}}.</ref>

Kalalea Mountain overlooking Anahola is featured in the first shot of the 1981 feature film ''[[Raiders of the Lost Ark]]''.

Kalalea and the Anahola mountains also serve as a backdrop for a Polynesian resort - supposedly located on [[Makatea]] island - in the 1998 feature film ''[[Six Days, Seven Nights]]''. Coincidently, this movie also stars [[Harrison Ford]].
