From 1826 to 1853 the island was used as a penal colony by Hawaiian monarchs. In 1910 it became a forest reserve, but reforestation efforts were unsuccessful. Goats and sheep were introduced in the 19th century, and from 1941 to 1990 the island was used by the U.S. armed forces for munitions testing and bombing exercises, both of which further damaged the island’s ecology. The state government took control of the island in 1994, and there have been efforts to rid the island of unexploded ordnance and to reintroduce native vegetation.
