Mililani is a city located near the center of the island of Oʻahu in Honolulu County, Hawaiʻi, United States. It consists of two census-designated places, Mililani Town, with a population of 27,629 at the 2010 census,[3] and Mililani Mauka, with a 2010 census population of 21,039.
Mililani sits on former plantation fields owned by Castle & Cooke, which began planning for its development in the early 1960s under its Oceanic Properties subsidiary. Castle & Cooke's plan was to make Mililani Town a satellite city by using a prestigious group of planners and architects to satisfy Oʻahu's great pent-up demand for housing with a sensitively designed, affordable new community of a type unique in Hawaiʻi. Architect and developer Al Boeke, who would later create the planned community of Sea Ranch, California, was the development director of Mililani.[4] The first homes in Mililani went on sale on June 3, 1968.
In 1976, the Interstate H-2 opened, cutting travel time from Mililani to Honolulu in half. In 1986, Mililani was named an All-America City in recognition of a community effort to clean up drinking water contaminated with agricultural pesticides. It is the only community in Hawaiʻi ever to receive this distinction. Mililani is the third wealthiest zip code (96789) in the state of Hawaiʻi, according to the 2006 ranking by Pacific Business News.
Although it is largely a bedroom community for Honolulu, Mililani has its own commercial shopping centers, schools (such as Mililani High School), parks, community centers, and a golf course, and resembles a modern American suburban town. Mililani homeowners must pay dues to the Mililani Town Association, which enforces covenants and design standards, and provides recreational facilities including several pools.
The Mililani Golf Club is a par-72, 6,455-yard course that is open to the public. The Mililani Technology Park is a nearby campus-like park that is zoned for high-tech industries.
The older portion of Mililani to the west of Interstate H-2 is known as Mililani Town. The newer portion of Mililani to the east of Interstate H-2 is known as Mililani Mauka. Almost all of Mililani's commercial and retail centers are in Mililani Town. A third region of Mililani is Launani Valley, a secluded, master planned development located below Mililani Tech Park on Wikao Street. The area was developed by Towne and contains a blend of townhome and single family units.
On April 6, 1990, ground was broken for Mililani Mauka, a newer and more upscale community east of the Interstate H-2. The first homeowners moved into Mauka in 1992.
In 2003, Mililani was designated as the pilot site for the City and County of Honolulu's curbside recycling program.[5] In 2005, Money magazine named Mililani as one of the best places to live in the U.S.[6] In 2006, Mililani ʻIke Elementary School first grade teacher Phyllis Nakama-Kawamoto was named Hawaiʻi's American Star of Teaching by the U.S. Department of Education.[7]
Mililani Town is located at 21°26′46″N158°00′51″W / 21.4460°N 158.0142°W,[8] near the center of Oʻahu Island, on the plateau or 'central valley' between the two volcanic mountains that comprise the island. It is in the Central District and the City & County of Honolulu. The town is somewhat physically confined between the two large central Oʻahu gulches of Waikele and Kīpapa.
Travelling north on either Kamehameha Highway (State Rte. 99) or Interstate H-2 connects the traveller with Wahiawā. Travelling south on either of these arteries connects to Waipiʻo.

In 2017, the state approved NRG Energy, Inc. to build a 14.7 megawatt solar farm project near Mililani called Lanikuhana Solar.

Mililani is located in the center of the island of Oahu, in the central valley between the island's two volcanic mountain ranges, about 16 miles (26 km) north of Honolulu. Although the town is mainly a bedroom community for Honolulu, it has its own shopping centers, parks, schools and a public golf course. Mililani resembles a typical American suburban town.
When entering Mililani the first thing you see is a sign that says 'Mililani - 1986 All-America City.' There is a story behind this distinction. In 1983, the agricultural pesticides dibromochloropropane (DBCP) and ethylene dibromide (EDB) were found to be contaminating Mililani's drinking water. Mililani residents were worried about his, but met resistence when talking to developers and city officials.
After a grassroots campaign by Mililani residents, the developer agreed to install a $2.5 million carbon-filter system for the town's existing wells. The state of Hawaii also drilled new wells to provide clean water to the community. This large-scale effort by Mililani residents brought national attention to the issue of agricultural contamination through pesticides. Recognizing Mililani's civic spirit, the National Civic League named Mililani an All-America City in 1986. Until today Mililani is the only community in Hawaii to have received this honor.
In the past, the area was all plantation fields. The first houses in Mililani went on sale in 1968. Today, the town is the third wealthiest zip code in the state of Hawaii, according to the 2006 ranking by Pacific Business News. In 2005, Money Magazine named Mililani as one of the best places to live in the United States. Mililani is made up of an older area, named Mililani Town, and a newer area, named Mililani Mauka. The majority of Mililani's retail and commercial centers are in Mililani Town. In 2010, the population of Mililani Town was 27,629, and the population of Mililani Mauka was 21,039 (total population of Mililani was 48,668).
