Loa townsite was named in 1876, after Mauna Loa, the beautiful 13,000 foot high volcanic mountain on the Island of Hawaii, by Franklin Wheeler Young, a missionary to the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii) in 1856, and was dedicated by Patriarch Elias Hicks Blackburn of Loa on November 1, 1891.

This piece of Phoehoe lava from the 9,500 foot level of Mauna Loa was obtained in 1955 by Eldon Putnam Morrell, a native of Loa, and his wife Ruth Jorgenson Morrell, missionaries to Hawaii in 1921 and 1925, respectively, and was donated through the D.U.P. to the town of Loa.
