HonoluluisHawaiianfor "sheltered harbor"[9]or "calm port";[10]its old name,Kou,roughly encompasses the area from Nuʻuanu Avenue to Alakea Street and from Hotel Street to Queen Street, which is the heart of the present downtown district.[11]The city's desirability as a port accounts for its historical growth and importance in theHawaiian archipelagoand the broader Pacific region. Honolulu has been the capital of theHawaiian Islandssince 1845, firstly of the independentHawaiian Kingdom,andsince 1898of theU.S. territoryandstate of Hawaii.The city gained worldwide recognition following theEmpire of Japan'sattack on nearby Pearl Harboron December 7, 1941, which prompted theentry of the U.S.intoWorld War II;the harbor remains a majorU.S. Navybase, hosting theUnited States Pacific Fleet,the world's largest naval command.[12]

Hawaii is the only state with noincorporated placesbelow the county level.[13]TheU.S. Census Bureaurecognizes the approximate area commonly referred to as the "City of Honolulu" as the Urban Honolulu census-designated place. As of the2020 U.S. Census,the population of Honolulu was 350,964. The Urban Honolulu Metropolitan Statistical Area had 1,016,508 residents in 2020.[5]With over 300,000 residents, Honolulu is the most populous Oceanian city outsideAustralasia.[14][15]

Honolulu's favorable tropical climate, rich natural scenery, and extensive beaches make it a popular global destination for tourists. With over 711,000 visitors as of 2022, Honolulu is the tenth-most visited city in the United States afterNew York City,Miami,Orlando,Los Angeles,San Francisco,Las Vegas,Washington, D.C.,Chicago,andBoston.[16]

History

Evidence of the first settlement of Honolulu by the originalPolynesianmigrants to the archipelago comes from oral histories and artifacts. These indicate that there was a settlement where Honolulu now stands in the 11th century.[17][unreliable source?]AfterKamehameha Iconquered Oʻahu in theBattle of NuʻuanuatNuʻuanu Pali,he moved his royal court from theIsland of HawaiʻitoWaikikiin 1804. His court relocated in 1809 to what is nowdowntown Honolulu.The capital was moved back toKailua-Konain 1812.

In November 1794, CaptainWilliam Brownof Great Britain was the first foreigner to sail into what is nowHonolulu Harbor.[18]More foreign ships followed, making the port of Honolulu a focal point for merchant ships traveling between North America and Asia. The settlement grew from a handful of homes to a city in the early 19th century afterKamehameha Ichose it as a replacement for his residence at Waikiki in 1810.[19]

In 1850,Kamehameha IIImoved the permanent capital of theHawaiian KingdomfromLahainaonMauito Honolulu.[19]He and the kings who followed him transformed Honolulu into a modern capital, erecting buildings such asSt. Andrew's Cathedral,ʻIolani Palace,andAliʻiōlani Hale.At the same time, Honolulu became the islands' center of commerce, with descendants of American missionaries establishing major businesses downtown.[20]

Despite the turbulent history of the late 19th century and early 20th century—such as theoverthrow of the Hawaiian monarchyin 1893, Hawaii's annexation by the U.S. in 1898, alarge firein 1900, and the Japaneseattack on Pearl Harborin 1941—Honolulu remained the Hawaiian Islands' capital, largest city, and main airport and seaport.[21]

An economic and tourism boom following statehood brought rapid economic growth to Honolulu and Hawaii. Modern air travel brings, as of 2007,7.6 million visitors annually to the islands, with 62.3% entering atHonolulu International Airport.[22]Today, Honolulu is a modern city with numerous high-rise buildings, and Waikiki is the center of the tourism industry in Hawaii, with thousands of hotel rooms.

Climate

edit

Honolulu experiences ahot semi-arid climate(Köppen classificationBSh), with a mostly dry summer season, due to arain shadoweffect.[31]Despite temperatures that meet the tropical threshold of all months having a mean temperature of 64.4 °F (18.0 °C) or higher, the city receives too little precipitation to be classified as tropical.

Temperatures vary little throughout the year, with average high temperatures of 80–90 °F (27–32 °C) and average lows of 65–75 °F (18–24 °C). Nevertheless, there are slight seasons. The "winter" months from December to March can occasionally see lows fall below 64 °F (18 °C), whereas the "summer" from June to September can get a limited number of hot days achieving 90 °F (32 °C) or higher. This occurs on an average of only 32 days annually,[32][b]with lows in the upper 50s °F (14–15 °C) once or twice a year. The highest recorded temperature was 95 °F (35 °C) on September 19, 1994, and August 31, 2019.[32]The lowest recorded temperature was 52 °F (11 °C) on February 16, 1902, and January 20, 1969.[32]

The annual average rainfall is 16.41 inches (417 millimeters),[32]which mainly occurs from October through early April, with very little rainfall in the summer. However, both seasons experience a similar number of rainy days. Light showers occur in summer, while heavier rain falls during winter. Honolulu has an average of 278 sunny days and 89.2 rainy days per year.

Although the city is in the tropics,hurricanesare quite rare. The last recorded hurricane that hit near Honolulu was Category 4Hurricane Inikiin 1992.Tornadoesare also uncommon and occur about every 15 years.Waterspoutsoff the coast are also uncommon, hitting about every five years.[33]

Honolulu falls under theUSDA12b PlantHardiness zone.[34]

The average temperature of the sea ranges from 75.7 °F (24.3 °C) in March to 80.4 °F (26.9 °C) in September.[35]

The opening of the first phase of the Skyline was delayed until 2023, as HART canceled the initial bids for the first nine stations, rebid the work as three packages of three stations each, and allowed more time for construction in the hope that increased competition on smaller contracts would drive down costs;[98]initial bids ranged from $294.5 million to $320.8 million, far surpassing HART's budget of $184 million.[99]
