Where is Honolulu?

Briefly about the main things: the past and present of the resort.

To understand where Honolulu is, you need to look at the southeast coast of the island of Oahu. The area is considered the most popular zone in the Hawaiian archipelago. It is known for its mild climate, golden sands, beautiful nature, and endless waters of the blue ocean.

The history of the area began after King Kamehameha I conquered Oahu and united the islands into the Kingdom of Hawaii. The year 1800 is considered the founding date of Honolulu. Shortly thereafter, he moved the royal court from the island of Hawaii to Oahu. In 1845, Kamehameha III officially moved the capital of the kingdom from Lahaina to Honolulu.

The descendants of the missionaries later developed Honolulu into a business center and Hawaii's main seaport.

Today the city is famous not only for the fact that here are the main offices of major companies and the airport, but also the center of the island's tourist industry - Waikiki Beach. Within the city limits, Honolulu has a population of 390,000 people. On the territory of the whole island lives 953 thousand people.
