Welcome to 
Hawaii
Hawaii Hawaii is the most recent of the 
50 U.S. states (joined the Union on 
August 21, 1959), and is the only U.S. 
state made up entirely of islands. It is 
the northernmost island group 
in Polynesia, occupying most of 
an archipelago in the central Pacific 
Ocean. 
The state encompasses nearly the 
entire volcanic Hawaiian Island chain, 
which comprises hundreds of islands 
spread over 1,500 miles (2,400 km). At 
the southeastern end of the 
archipelago, the eight "main islands" 
are (from the northwest to 
southeast) Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Maui, 
Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe and Hawaii. 
The last is the largest and is often 
called "The Big Island" to avoid 
confusion with the state as a whole. 
The islands of Hawaii were formed 
a few thousand years ago by undersea 
volcanoes.
Hawaii
Hawaii is the most isolated population center on the face of the earth. 
Hawaii is 2,390 miles from California; 3,850 miles from Japan; 4,900 miles 
from China; and 5,280 miles from the Philippines. 
Hawaii is actually the only U.S. state that is not physically situated in North 
America.
Hawaii is derived from the Polynesian word 
hawaiki, which means ''place of the Gods.''
Brief History of Hawaii 
• Settled by early 
Polynesians around 500 
AD, Hawaii was 
discovered by 
Englishman Captain 
James Cook in 1778. 
Christian missionaries

remained under native 
rule until 1893, when it 
became the Republic of 
Hawaii and, in 1900, 
became a U.S. Territory.

Hawaii (Hawaiian: Ka Hae 
Hawaii) is the

waii as a US state. The same flag 
had also previously been used by 
the kingdom, protectorate, republ 
ic, and territory of Hawaii. It is 
the only US state flag to feature 
the Union Flag of the United 
Kingdom, a holdover of the 
period in Hawaiian history when 
it was under the influence of 
the British Empire. 
• The field of the flag is composed 
of eight horizontal stripes 
symbolizing the eight major 
islands 
(Hawaii, Oahu, Kauai, Kahoolawe 
,Lānai, Maui, Molokai and Niihau 
).
