Ranching began on Molokaʻi in the first half of the 19th century when King Kamehameha V set up a country estate on the island, which was managed by Meyer and became what is now the Molokaʻi Ranch.
A gandaría comezou en Molokaʻi na primeira metade do século XIX cando o rei Kamehameha V estableceu unha leira na illa, que foi administrada por Meyer e se converteu no que é agora o Rancho Molokaʻi.
