Here are 5 fun facts about this beautiful island:
1. In 1884, King Kamehameha V offered to sell a strip of land running from downtown Honolulu to Diamond Head to Eliza Sinclair, a rancher’s widow from New Zealand, for $10,000.00. She looked at the land and turned him down because the land wasn’t fit to raise cattle. This priceless land is now known as Waikiki.
2. Honolulu is the largest city in the world. That is because Hawaii’s State Constitution states that any island not named as belonging to a county belongs to Honolulu. This makes the entire island of Oahu, where Honolulu is located, plus all the other small, uninhabited islands, islets and atolls part of Honolulu. Honolulu is about 1,500 miles long. It would span from Los Angeles, California to Denver, Colorado.
3. Oahu is home to the world’s largest wind generator. The windmill is located on the top of a 20 story tower. It has two blades, each measuring 400 feet in length.
4. Honolulu is the second most expensive city in the United States. Anchorage, Alaska is the most expensive.
5. Oahu hosts more visitors every year than all of the other Hawaiian islands combined, and now you know a few of the fun reasons why it is no coincidence that “Oahu” means “the gathering place.”
