Hawaii Overview
Hawaii or Hawaii is a United States state consisting of 18 islands located in the Pacific Ocean. Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lānai, Kahoolawe, Maui, and Hawaii are the most well-known islands. Because the island of Hawai'i is the largest, they refer to it as the Big Island. The state capital and largest city is Honolulu on the island of Oʻahu.
A Brief History of Hawaii
Life in Hawaii BC. It dates back to the 1000's. Indigenous peoples lived in Hawaii for 800 years and used a language called Proto-Polynesia. In 1810, the islands of Kaua and Nş'ihau joined the Kingdom of Hawaii, which originally consisted of the islands of O'ahu, Maui, Molokai, and Lana'i. Europeans and mainland Americans came to the archipelago during this period. This kingdom ruled from 1810 to 1893. It existed as an independent republic until it came under American patronage in 1898. On August 21, 1959, it officially became a state of the United States of America with a referendum.
Geography in Hawaii
The Hawaiian Islands were formed when lava from underwater volcanoes solidified and turned into rocks. These islands are famous for their high and volcanic mountains. The climate and volcanic soil structure of the islands provide biodiversity. The soil formed by the minerals in the lava gave rise to plants and animals unseen elsewhere in the world.
Climate in Hawaii
Because the Hawaiian islands are far from the continents, the temperature does not vary much throughout the year. The temperature is usually between 27 and 16 ° C. Rainfall in Hawaii is abundant. During the day, plenty of rain and then the sun can be seen. Waialeale Mountain on Kaua Island is the second most rainfall in the world. Each island has two climates. While the clouds stay on one side of the island due to the high mountains, there are not many clouds on the other side. Therefore, the cloudy part of each island is rainy and green. The other side is sunny and dry.
Coffee Production in Hawaii
A Spanish gardener named Don Francisco de Paula y Marin said in an article dated January 21, 1813, that he planted coffee saplings on the island of Oʻahu, but not much is known about the results of this planting. In 1825, under the direction of Captain Lord Byron, an English nobleman naval officer, gardener John Wilkinson brought coffee plants from Brazil. Hawaiian Governor Boki provided John Wilkinson with some land in the Mānoa Valley in Oʻahu. However, Wilkinson died in March 1827 and the coffee trees did not develop. Introduced to Hawaii in the early 1800s, coffee could only be produced on small farms in the early 20th century. Although Big Island's Kona Coffee remains the best known, coffee is now grown on every major island in more than 950 farms.
