Harold Kainalu Long Castle developed the first housing tract in Kailua and named it Kalama in honor of Queen Kalama Hakaleleponi Kapakuhaili, the wife of King Kamehameha III (1813–1854). Queen Kalama had inherited the land division of Kailua when her husband died in 1854.

Castle set aside the beachfront lot at 280 North Kalaheo Avenue for the use of the home owners in the subdivision. A private clubhouse, built on the lot and dedicated on July 29, 1928, was named the Kalama Beach Club.
