Hawaii is 2,000 miles west of California. Roughly 1,500 years ago, a group of canoes came ashore an islands now known as Hawaii. The people in the canoes- first people to set foot on the island-had rowed about 2,000 miles from the Marquesas Islands to get there.
People from what is now Tahiti—over 2,500 miles away—followed 500 years later. These cultures brought traditions of their own and over time created new traditions such as surfing, hula dancing, and exchanging flower garlands called leis. In 1810 Kamehameha became Hawaii’s first king. In 1898 Hawaii became a U.S. territory. It was named the 50th state in 1959, and to this day you can still visit Hawaii. Hawaii is named for Hawai’i Loa, a legendary figure who is said to have first discovered the islands. Honolulu is the capital of hawaii. Hawaii’s nickname which is the Aloha State, is easy to find out. Aloha is a way to say hello and goodbye when you are speaking Hawaiian. Because Hawaii lies at the edge of the tropical zone, it technically has only two seasons, both of them warm. There's a dry season that corresponds to summer. The best time to visit Hawaii is when the crowds are down and so are the prices. With the exception of holidays , April, May, September and October are the best months to travel to Hawaii. Hawaii became the 50th state on August 21, 1959. Hawaii is closer to Alaska than it is to California. Hawaii is the most isolated population center on the face of the earth. Ashleigh
