Hawaiian: somebody who comes from Hawaii.
Waikiki, Hawaii
Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, east of Downtown, known for its famous
Waikiki Beach. Waikiki was Hawaii's first tourist center, today still a center
for mass tourism from the American mainland and Japan.
Honolulu, Hawaii
Honolulu is a city in the United States, on the island of Oahu, and the
capital of the state of Hawaii. The city itself has 350 395 residents, while in
the metropolitan area there are 988 650 residents (U.S. Census, 2017).
The larger urban area (Honolulu County) encompasses the entire island of Oahu
as well as the more remote Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. Honolulu is Hawaii's
only metropolis. The population is cosmopolitan with backgrounds from the
entire Pacific region and the continental United States.
Business
Honolulu is the dominant economic, administrative and transportation center
in Hawaii. The largest sources of income are the tourism industry and the
military forces. Honolulu also has a significant industry for processing the
island's agricultural products.
The tourism industry has created a breeding ground for a small-scale industry
with extensive textile production. The previously important processing of
pineapple and sugar cane has become less important. Honolulus International
Airport is one of the busiest in the United States. With the airport and the
good harbor, Honolulu serves as an important hub for Pacific transportation.
The city is the seat of a number of higher education institutions, museums
and other cultural institutions. The University of Hawaii (1907) has its
headquarters in Manoa. The university has its own East-West Center for Pacific
Studies and is also known for its studies in astronomy, geophysics and marine
life. Also located are Chaminade University (1955), Hawaii Pacific University
and Honololu Academy of Arts (1927), considered Hawaii's cultural center.
Description
The city is a convoluted urban area that extends 16 km along Oahu's south
side from Pearl Harbor in the west to the east of the distinctive volcanic
cratered Diamond Head in the east. The actual Honolulu or Downtown is centrally
located within the port of Honolulu. Among these are the federal and state
institutions, as well as the United States' only royal palace.
Further east (the Diamond Head side) is the Waikiki district, Hawaii's most
important center for tourism. Towards the inland ("mauka side", "towards the
inland", as opposed to "makai side", "towards the sea") there is another
distinctive crater, the Punchbowl, and eastwards from this fashionable district
of Makiki Heights and the university part of Manoa.
West of Downtown and the harbor ("Ewa side") is the international airport
with one of the landing strips built on the coral reef. Most of Honolulus
industry is located adjacent to the port and airport. West of the international
airport is the former army base Fort Kamehameha, Hicham airport base and the
Pearl Harbor naval base. The latter is home to the U.S. Pacific Fleet, and
Japan's attack on this base on December 7, 1941 brought the United States
into World War II.
History
Honolulu was founded as the capital by Kamehameha the Great relocating his
royal court there from Waikiki in 1809. During the 19th century, the city grew
as a trading center and port for extensive whaling.
The U.S. military presence began in 1887 when the then independent Kingdom of
Hawaii granted the U.S. Navy permission to use Pearl Harbor. Hawaii was
incorporated in the United States in 1898. The city played an important military
role both during World War II and during the Korea and Vietnam War.
