One of the most beautiful states of the United States America, Hawaii is comprised of an archipelago of the Hawaiian Islands in the central Pacific Ocean. The Hawaiian Islands, formerly known as the Sandwich Islands, were inducted into the U.S. territory in 1900. The archipelago of Hawaiian Islands include the major eight islands of Nihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, L?nai, Kahoolawe, Maui and the Island of Hawaii, and many islets.

The Hawaiian Islands were discovered and named as ‘the Sandwich Islands’ by British explorer Captain James Cook. The Hawaiian Islands were united for the first time under a single ruler, King Kamehameha the Great.

Hawaii or HI was recognized as the 50th state of U.S. in Aug. 21, 1959. The name of the state of Hawaii possibly came from the native Hawaiian word “Owhyhee” meaning homeland. The state is nicknamed as “the Aloha State”. Aloha is acknowledgment that can be used as greeting. Honolulu is the capital and the largest city of the state. Hawaiian and English are the official languages of the state.
