The History of Hawaii

Posted by pahpoh 2:27 AM, under ,,, | No comments

Hawaii's long history began when the islands were first settled, by Polynesians originating either from the Marquesas Islands or from Tahiti, traveling by canoe. These settlers brought with them pigs, dogs, chicken, coconut, sugarcane, bananas, coconut, and taro, each of which would profoundly impact the landscape and lifestyle in Hawaii for centuries to come.

Captain James Cook discovered Hawaii in 1778 as he was trying to find the elusive Northwest Passage, a water route that would connect the Pacific and Atlantic oceans through North America. He named the chain the Sandwich Islands; news of his discovery prompted other Europeans and Americans to travel to the area, settling throughout the islands during the 1790s and 1800s.
