Extended data:

The word "Hawaii" comes from Polynesian. Around the 4th century AD, a group of Polynesians crossed the waves in canoes and settled here. They named the island Hawaii, which means "primitive home". The first European to discover these islands was Juan Gaitano of Spain, and it was the British navigator Captain Cook who really made Hawaii famous in the world. He landed on the Hawaiian Islands in 1778.

1795, Sheikh Kamihamiha conquered other tribes and established the kingdom of Hawaii. Hawaii was annexed by the United States in 1898, and 1959 became the 50th state of the United States.
