'''Kalaeloa''' ({{IPA|haw|kəlɐe̯ˈlowə}}) is a [[census-designated place]] (CDP) in [[Honolulu County, Hawaii]], United States.  The population was 2,364 at the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]]. The community occupies the location of the former [[Naval Air Station Barbers Point]], which was closed in 1999 and subsequently transferred to the [[Hawaii|State of Hawai{{okina}}i]]. The geographical name, ''Ka lae loa'', means "long point" in [[Hawaiian language|Hawaiian]] and is the native name for what has been called '''Barbers Point''' on [[Oahu|O{{okina}}ahu]]. The area was known as Barbers Point because Captain [[Henry Barber (sea captain)|Henry Barber]] wrecked his ship on a coral shoal at this location on October 31, 1796.

In 1993, after the federal government listed Barbers Point for closure, the state legislature established the Barbers Point Naval Air Station Redevelopment Commission (BPNAS-RC) to guide the redevelopment of the former military facilities comprising John Rodgers airfield and {{convert|3700|acre|km2}} of land along the south shore of O{{okina}}ahu between the towns of [[Ewa Villages, Hawaii|{{okina}}Ewa]], [[Kapolei, Hawaii|Kapolei]], and Campbell Industrial Park.  On July 1, 2002, the Hawaii Community Development Authority became the redevelopment authority for Kalaeloa.  The former Naval Air Station runways and associated facilities are now [[Kalaeloa Airport]].

Barbers Point Housing is that part of Kalaeloa retained temporarily by the [[United States Navy]] for housing.

==History==
In October 1795, during a trading voyage to China, the ship, the ''Arthur'' arrived in Hawai{{okina}}i led by Captain Henry Barber. He set sail for Kaua{{okina}}i after stopping for provisions at Waikiki. After passing the entrance to Pearl Harbor, the ''Arthur'' wrecked on a reef in high surf and was completely destroyed. Six crew members drowned, but Barber and the other fifteen members of his crew made it ashore in their small boats. The point where the wreck occurred was known thereafter as Barbers Point.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Hawaii Place Names|last=Clark|first=John R.K|publisher=Mike Waggoner|year=2002|location=United States of America}}</ref>
