Hawaii, HI is the 50th and most recent state to have joined the United States of America. It is an isolated volcanic archipelago in the Central Pacific.
It is the only U.S. state flag to feature the flag of a foreign country which is the Union flag of the United Kingdom. In 1793 Captain George Vancouver from Great Britain presented the Union Jack to the conquering king Kamehameha I, who was then uniting the islands into a single state. Of the 6 main islands, Oahu has Hawaii’s biggest city and capital, Honolulu, home to crescent Waikiki Beach and Pearl Harbor's WWII memorials. It is over 2000 miles from hawaii to the American mainland. A person from Hawaii is called an Hawaiian and the state nickname is the Aloha State.
