The Waimea thank you cards, for the town that is paniolo country. Thick-stock cards with the Waimea vintage retro logo on the front in black, blank inside, envelopes included.

For the note after the weekend visit, the wedding, the graduation or the holidays: thanks that says where it came from. Choose the size, the finish and the count, and keep a box in the drawer so the note goes out the same week.

Thank you cards with a touch of vintage charm. Each features our retro logo design on premium thick 270gsm card stock with a smooth, high-quality feel, in a matte, uncoated, or coated finish. Two convenient sizes and a range of count packs let you match the set to your needs, and envelopes are included. Printed on the front; blank inside and on the back.

Vancouver gave Kamehameha I cattle in 1793 and the herds went wild on Mauna Kea; vaqueros arrived in the 1830s to teach the Hawaiians to ride and rope, and the paniolo tradition was born, older than the mainland cowboy. John Palmer Parker founded Parker Ranch in 1847, still one of the oldest and largest in the United States.

Waimea, also called Kamuela, sits in cool, misty pasture at 2,600 feet on the saddle between the Kohala Mountains and Mauna Kea, where nights drop into the fifties and fireplaces are common. The 1847 koa homestead Mana Hale still stands and Church Row lines the center of town. Cowboy Hawaiʻi is the mark on this piece.

All Waimea Hawaiʻi Items

At the center of it all is Parker Ranch. John Palmer Parker, who married into a Native Hawaiian aliʻi family, founded the ranch in 1847; it grew across the slopes of Mauna Kea and Kohala into one of the oldest and largest cattle ranches in the United States — well over a hundred thousand acres. For generations the paniolo of Parker Ranch worked those pastures on horseback, and the ranch became the economic and cultural heart of North Hawaiʻi, drawing visits even from the reigning monarchs of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

This was old, settled country long before the cattle came. Native Hawaiians had farmed the Waimea uplands since around 1100–1200 AD, terracing the leeward slopes into field systems walled with kuaiwi and watered by ʻauwai canals tapped from the Waimea streams; the upper slopes are said to have supported more than ten thousand people before Western contact. After contact, two waves remade the land — first the sandalwood cutters of the early 1800s, who stripped the fragrant ʻōhiʻa and māmane forests and carried the wood down to the coast for the China trade, and then the cattle that turned the cleared ground into the open pasture Waimea is known for today.

Why People Visit Waimea

Waimea offers the Hawaiʻi that isn't a beach — cool, green, and high, with a deep ranching culture and Native Hawaiian roots. Visitors come for the paniolo heritage, the upland air, the farmers' markets, and the rare feeling of a Hawaiian cowboy town under the slopes of a sacred mountain.
