King Kamehameha V gave a land of 60,000 acres to Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop in the early 1900s. This by far is the largest Molokai ranch that has been developed by Princess’ husband, Charles Bishop. He assigned Rudolph Meyer in the development of the plantation. When Meyer died, the land was sold to some Honolulu businessmen who turned the plantation into American Sugar Company.

Charles Cooke purchased the property in 1908 and made it into a cattle ranch. A small portion of the land was made into Kaloakoi Resort.

Molokai Ranch Headquarters can be found in the town of Maunaloa at the rear end of Highway 460.
