Ka?? is the southernmost district of Hawaii County, Hawaii, located on the island of Hawai?i.
Ka?? was one of the six original districts of ancient Hawaii on the island, known as moku. It includes the areas of South Point (Ka Lae), Hawaiian Ocean View Estates (HOVE), Hawaiian Ocean View Ranchos (HOVR), now together known as Ocean View, N?nole, Wai??hinu, Na??lehu and P?hala.
The district contains much of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, including the volcanoes K?lauea and Mauna Loa, and Punalu?u Black Sand Beach, Papak?lea (Green Sand) Beach and Kamilo Beach. To the east of Ka?? is the Puna District, and to the west is the South Kona District.
Sugar cane was a large crop until 1996. Now coffee is growing in importance, with the Ka?? Coffee Festival held in P?hala.

Southernmost point
The southernmost point of any state in the United States is at Ka Lae Point in the Ka?? District. It is almost the southernmost point in the whole country except that, technically, the United States Territory of Palmyra Island, although not part of a state within the US, is an incorporated territory (an integral part of the country) according to the doctrine of "incorporation" defined in the Supreme Court's Insular Cases; therefore Palmyra's south point on Holei Island at 5°52'15" N latitude is officially the southernmost point in the United States of America, not Ka Lae Point.

Lender and Insurance Redlining Of Lava Zone 1 and 2
Kau shares much in common with the district of Puna, Hawaii. Both districts are situated on active volcanoes and contains large sections of land that are in Lava Flow Hazard Zones 1 and 2. Additionally, new lava zones 11, 12, and 13 are being established to account for current flow activity to reduce redlining.
