Salt Lake is a neighborhood of Honolulu, Hawaii located on the Island of Oahu. It is commonly referred to as Aliamanu by locals due to its close proximity to a nearby crater sharing the name. The neighborhood derived its name from a crater, Āliapa‘akai, which was filled with water and evaporated leaving behind a high concentration of salt, to the point where salt formations developed around its edges.
Today, Salt Lake is surrounded by a number of Military Installations. The headquarters for the United States Army Pacific is located in nearby Fort Shafter, the United States Air Force Pacific headquarters is in Hickam Air Force Base and Pearl Harbour is home to the United States Pacific Fleet.
