The Dillingham Corporation was founded in 1864 in Honolulu, Hawaii, and originally operated as a construction and engineering firm. Over the years, it expanded its operations into various sectors, including real estate development and transportation. The company went public in 1968, listing its shares on the New York Stock Exchange. Dillingham Corporation played a significant role in shaping Hawaii's infrastructure and economy through its construction projects, including highways, airports, and hotels.
