Spreckelsville is named after Claus Spreckles, a famous California sugar refiner. In 1877, Spreckles sailed to Hawai'i and purchased half of the sugar crop of 1877 to secure his sugar business. Between the years of 1878 and 1882, the sugar baron enhanced his Hawai'i fortunes with the outright purchase of 41,000 acres in and around the town of Wailuku, Maui. East of Wailuku, Spreckels built Spreckelsville and constructed a $4 million sugar mill which became the world's largest, efficent and most modern of its time. His industrial innovations forged the direction for Hawai'i's sugar industry. Spreckels revolutionized the sugar industry by introducing modern technology for sugar production including electricity, specific railroads for cane hauling, steam plows, and controllable irrigation. He also owned Oceanic Steamship Company which shipped his sugar to his refining plants in San Francisco. In 1883, Sprekels minted Hawaiian money. At the time the local newspapers referred to him as "His Majesty Spreckels."
