In 1899, Dole obtained his bachelor degree in agriculture from the Bussey Institute of Harvard University. After receiving USD $50 as a gift, Dole began saving money for a future business. After growing his savings to $16,240, Dole moved to Honolulu Hawaii at the age of 22, arriving on November 16, 1899, (then governed by his cousin Sanford B. Dole, after the 1893 overthrow of Queen Lili?uokalani). He purchased a 64-acre (260,000 m2) government homestead in the central plains of the island of Oahu at 21°30'30?N 158°0'22?W. After experimenting with a number of crops, he settled on planting pineapple.
