Kapapa was used as a place of worship by Ancient Hawaiians, and contains a heiau. It was included as Kapapa Island Complex and Historic District in the National Register of Historic Places.

Beginning in 1917, the island's wildlife resources have been protected. In 1932 a wildlife reservation executive order was issued, and in 2010, the Department of Land and Natural Resources announced it would be protected by rule as a wildlife sanctuary.[3]
