Hawaii ( /həˈwaɪ.iː/ ( help · info ) or /həˈwaɪʔiː/ in English; Hawaiian : Moku ʻ āina o Hawai ʻ i) is the newest of the 50 U.S. states , and is the only state made up entirely of islands. It is located on an archipelago in the central Pacific Ocean , southwest of the continental United States, southeast of Japan , and northeast of Australia . The state was admitted to the Union on August 21, 1959 . Its capital is Honolulu on the island of O ʻ ahu. The most recent census estimate puts the state's population at 1,283,388. The state encompasses nearly the entire volcanic Hawaiian Island chain , which comprises hundreds of islands spread over 1,500 miles (2,400 km). At the southeastern end of the archipelago , the eight "main islands" are (from the northwest to southeast) Ni ʻ ihau , Kaua ʻ i, O ʻ ahu , Moloka ʻ i, Lāna ʻ i, Kaho ʻ olawe , Maui , and Hawai ʻ i. The last is by far the largest, and is often called the "Big Island" or "Big Isle" to avoid confusion with the state as a whole. This archipelago is physiographically and ethnologically part of the Polynesian subregion of Oceania . In standard American English, Hawaii is generally pronounced /həˈwaɪ.iː/ . In the Hawaiian language , it is generally pronounced [həˈwɐiʔi] or [həˈvɐiʔi] .In March 1959, both houses of Congress passed the Hawaii Admission Act and U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed it into law. (The act excluded Palmyra Atoll , part of the Kingdom and Territory of Hawaii, from the new state.) On June 27 of that year, a referendum was held asking residents of Hawaii to vote on accepting the statehood bill. Hawaii voted at a ratio of 17 to 1 to accept. T has been criticism, however, of the Statehood plebiscite, because the only choices were to accept the Act or to remain a territory, without addressing the issues of legality surrounding the overthrow. [31 ][ 32 ][ 33 ] Despite the criticism, the United Nations Special Committee on Decolonization later removed Hawaii from the United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing Territories
