Honolulu is the capital and main port of the US state of Hawaii. The 370,000-inhabitant city lies on the southern coast of the island of Oahu and is one of the largest cities in the Pacific. In English Honolulu means "sheltered harbor". There is no clear evidence as to when Honolulu was first settled, but it is believed that the Polynesians were the first who settled here in the 12th century. In 1845, Kamehameha III made Honolulu the capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii. And the city remained so when Hawaii became in 1959 federal state of the USA.
