First settled by Polynesians sailing from other Pacific
islands between C.E. 300 and 600, Hawaii was visited in 1778
by British Captain James Cook, who called the group the
Sandwich Islands.
Hawaii was a native kingdom throughout most of the 19th
century, when the expansion of the vital sugar industry
(pineapple came after 1898) meant increasing U.S. business and
political involvement. In 1893, Queen Liliuokalani was deposed
and a year later the Republic of Hawaii was established with
Sanford B. Dole as president. Then, following its annexation
in 1898, Hawaii became a U.S. territory in 1900.
The Japanese attack on the naval base at Pearl Harbor on Dec.
7, 1941, was directly responsible for U.S. entry into World
War II.
Hawaii, 2,397 miles west-southwest of San Francisco, is a
1,523-mile chain of islets and eight main islands-Hawaii,
Kahoolawe, Maui, Lanai, Molokai, Oahu, Kauai, and Niihau. The
Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, other than Midway, are
administratively part of Hawaii.
