Mark Twain visited Waiōhinu in 1866 and, legend has it, planted a monkey pod tree (Albizia saman) here. The tree blew down in 1957, but a shoot from it was replanted, and remains growing there today.

Kauahaao Church was built in 1888 by Calvinist missionaries in Waiōhinu. The historic wooden church building was demolished in April 1998 because of extensive termite damage.

Wong Yuen Store was built in 1914 by Chinese immigrant Wong Yuen. It is currently the only store in operation in Waiōhinu.
