About Honolulu, Hawaii
Honolulu is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. state of Hawaii, located in the Pacific Ocean. Evidence of the first settlement of Honolulu by the original Polynesian migrants to the archipelago comes from oral histories and artifacts. These indicate that there was a settlement where Honolulu now stands in the 11th century. The Bishop Museum is Honolulu's largest museum. It has the state's largest collection of natural history specimens and the world's largest collection of Hawaiiana and Pacific culture artifacts. (Wikipedia)
