The island state of Hawaii was the last to join the Union. It's only been a state since August 21, 1959. Prior to that, it was a U.S. territory and before that, an island nation ruled by a royal family.

The state is a chain of 132 islands, with eight main islands, located in the Pacific Ocean. The Island of Hawaii, often referred to as The Big Island, Oahu, and Maui are some of the best-known of the islands. 

The islands were formed by the molten lava of volcanoes and are home to two active volcanoes. The Big Island is still growing thanks to lava from the Kilauea Volcano.

Hawaii is a state of "onlies." It is the only state that grows coffee, cocoa, and vanilla; the only state with a rain forest;  and the only state with a royal residence, Iolani Palace. 

The beautiful beaches of Hawaii feature not only white sand, but also pink, red, green, and black.
