      History

       Table of Contents

      The United States acquired the area of Hawaii through annexation of the Republic of Hawaii on July 7, 1898. Hawaii was officially organized as a territory of the United States on June 14, 1900, with generally the same boundary as the present state. Hawaii was admitted to the Union on August 21, 1959, as the 50^th state.

      Census data for Hawaii are available beginning with the 1900 census. The 1910 through 1930 populations do not include Midway Islands, and the 1940 population does not include Baker Island, Canton Island, Enderbury Island, Howland Island, Jarvis Island, Johnston Atoll, and Midway Islands which were enumerated as part of Hawaii Territory even though not legally part of the territory. The 1940 population does include Palmyra Atoll (administratively named Palmyra Island), which was legally part of Hawaii Territory since its organization, but separated from Hawaii upon statehood. (Palmyra Atoll had no population in any other census.) Canton Island and Enderbury Island are now part of the Republic of Kiribati. The other islands and atolls, which are under the jurisdiction of the Department of Interior or the Department of Defense, are part of the U.S. Minor Outlying Islands. For the 1930, 1940, 1950, and 1970 censuses, the population and housing unit data for Kalawao County were included in Maui County. The population and housing unit counts for Kalawao County shown as Kalawao division (CCD) in 1970 was 172 population and 0 (zero) housing units (there are no housing units because the residents were classified as living in a medical facility). The adjusted population for Maui County (including Kalawao County) in 1970 is 45,984. The validity of the urban population reported in Hawaii for 1900, 1910, and 1920 is limited because a place population of 2,500 was required to classify territory as urban, and the Census Bureau did not consistently identify places in Hawaii before 1930.

      Data for the legally established state of Hawaii are available beginning with the 1960 census.

      About the Geographic Areas

       Table of Contents

      There are 75 Hawaiian home lands in the state of Hawaii. Hawaiian home lands are unique to Hawaii and are lands held in trust for Native Hawaiians by the state, pursuant to the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act of 1920, as amended.

      Metropolitan And Micropolitan Statistical Areas And Related Statistical Areas

      Hawaii has one metropolitan statistical area and three micropolitan statistical areas.

      Counties

      Hawaii has five counties. Kalawao County, a former leper colony and now a national historic landmark, does not function as a governmental unit and is administered by the State Department of Health. Honolulu County and city are governmentally consolidated, but through agreement with the State of Hawaii, the Census Bureau does not recognize the city for statistical purposes.

      County Subdivisions

      There are 44 county subdivisions in Hawaii. They are all census county divisions (CCDs), which are delineated for statistical purposes, have no legal function, and are not governmental units.

       CCDs were first established in Hawaii for the 1960 census.
