Hawaii Island MapThe Hawaii island map shown below illustrates the the main part of the state of Hawaii, which is a cluster of dozens of small, volcanic islands about 2,300 miles southwest of the mainland United States. Surprisingly, Hawaii is not America's westernmost state. That distinction belongs to Alaska, which spans even further west than Hawaii!
Hawaii's main (largest) islands are called Ni'ihau, Kaua'i, O'ahu, Moloka'i, Lāna'i, Kaho'olawe, Maui, and Hawai'i. For some reason, Hawaiian names are sprinkled with apostrophes.
The island of Hawai'i is the state's largest island, and is better known simply as the "Big Island," in order to distinguish it by name from the state itself.
The capital of the state of Hawaii is Honolulu, a city with a population of about 1.2 million, located on the island of O'ahu.
Hawaii was the 50th and most recent U.S. state to join the USA.
