Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. is a Honolulu-based company that was once part of the Big Five companies in territorial Hawaii. The company today operates businesses in shipping, sugar cane, real estate, and diversified agriculture. It is also the only "Big Five" company that still cultivates sugar cane. It remains one of the State of Hawaii's largest private landowners, owning about 89,000 acres throughout the state. In addition, the company owns over a dozen income properties in the continental United States. Alexander & Baldwin has its headquarters in downtown Honolulu at the Alexander... & Baldwin Building, which was built in 1929. In 1831, Dwight Baldwin and Charlotte Fowler Baldwin were sent by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions as medical missionaries to the Sandwich Islands, as the Hawaiian Islands were called at the time. Reverend William Alexander and Mary McKinney Alexander arrived the following year in 1832. Alexander & Baldwin was founded by their sons Samuel Thomas Alexander and Henry Perrine Baldwin as Samuel T Alexander & Co., in 1870.
