Hawaii Summary

Hawaii is the 50th and most recent state to join the United States of America. It is located in the Pacific Ocean, southwest of the continental United States. Hawaii is the only U.S. state located outside of North America and the only one composed entirely of islands. It is the northernmost island group in Polynesia, occupying most of an archipelago in the central Pacific Ocean.

History

The first inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands were Polynesian voyagers who arrived sometime between A.D. 300 and 800. These people established a unique culture and language that still exists today. The first European contact with the islands was in 1778, when British explorer Captain James Cook arrived. He named the islands the Sandwich Islands, after the fourth Earl of Sandwich.
In 1810, King Kamehameha I united the Hawaiian Islands into one kingdom. He established a monarchy and a constitution, and the islands became known as the Kingdom of Hawaii. In 1820, the first Christian missionaries arrived, and by 1839, the Hawaiian language was written down for the first time.
In 1887, the Hawaiian monarchy was overthrown by a group of American businessmen and sugar planters. The islands were annexed by the United States in 1898, and in 1959, Hawaii became the 50th state of the United States.

Geography

Hawaii is composed of eight main islands: Hawaii (the Big Island), Maui, Oahu, Kauai, Molokai, Lanai, Niihau, and Kahoolawe. The islands are located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, about 2,400 miles from the mainland United States. The islands are volcanic in origin, and the highest point in the state is Mauna Kea, which stands at 13,796 feet above sea level.
Hawaii has a tropical climate, with warm temperatures year-round. The islands receive abundant rainfall, and the average annual temperature is around 75 degrees Fahrenheit.

Economy

Hawaii’s economy is largely based on tourism, with visitors drawn to the state’s beautiful beaches and tropical climate. The state is also a major producer of sugar, pineapple, and coffee. Other important industries include fishing, manufacturing, and the military.

Demographics

As of the 2010 census, the population of Hawaii was 1,360,301. The largest ethnic group is Asian, making up 38.6% of the population. The second largest group is Caucasian, at 24.7%. Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders make up 10.4% of the population, and Hispanics or Latinos make up 8.9%.
Hawaii is the most ethnically diverse state in the United States. English is the most widely spoken language, but Hawaiian, Samoan, Tongan, and other Pacific Islander languages are also spoken. The majority of the population is Christian, with Roman Catholics making up the largest denomination.
