Hawaii's Eight Major Islands

Described by Mark Twain as "the loveliest fleet of islands that lies anchored in any ocean," Hawai‘i is a string of 137 islands encompassing a land area of 6,422.6 square miles in the north central Pacific Ocean about 2,400 miles from the west coast of the continental United States. Stretching from northwest to southeast, the major islands are: Ni‘ihau, Kaua‘i, O‘ahu, Moloka‘i, Lana‘i, Kaho‘olawe, Maui and Hawai‘i.

Discovered by Polynesian settlers between the 3rd and 7th centuries A.D. and later by British Captain James Cook in 1778. Hawai‘i became the 50th state on August 21, 1959. Honolulu, the capital city, is on the Island of O‘ahu.
