Hawke's Wood is a Lovian hamlet in the state of Kings. The name originates from a friend or relative of one of the founders, and the forest in which the hamlet is located. Hawke's Wood is located in the Coastal Valley district of Kings, a few kilometers inland from the eastern coast, on a hill in the forest that gives the hamlet part of its name. The hamlet was founded in 1967, mostly by a community of emigrants of Portland and Newhaven seeking to provide more development to the inhabitants of the forest, though a small, unincorporated community had also existed there previously. Lovian English is the primary language in the hamlet, though Dutch is also spoken by a minority. The hamlet's economy is based mostly on logging, tourism, though several citizens work in and commute to Portland.
