Hawaii（English: Hawaii) became the 50th state of the United States on August 21, 1959. It is composed of the Hawaiian Islands and is located in the North Pacific Ocean. The continent is Oceania. It is 3,700 kilometers from the continental United States and has a total area of 16,633 square kilometers. It belongs to the Pacific Coast region. The capital is Honolulu. Between 1778 and 1898, Hawaii was also known as the "Sandwich Islands".
Hawaii is the latest state to join the United States. It is clearly different from other states in the United States: besides being the southernmost state in the United States, it is also the only state in the United States that is all located in the tropics; it is the only state in the United States with Alaska. The two states that are not connected to other states are also the only states in the United States that do not have any land on the American continent. As far as all the territories of the United States are concerned, Hawaii is the southernmost state except for the overseas territories and islands of the United States, but it is not the southernmost territory (the southernmost territory of the United States is in the American Samoa Islands). In terms of ethnic distribution, it is one of the two most non-white states. Compared with other states, Hawaii has the largest proportion of Asian population. In terms of ecology and agriculture, it is the place with the most endangered species in the world and the only state in the United States that produces coffee on an industrial scale.
