Tahitians established permanent settlements on Oahu about 500 ce. In 1795 Kamehameha I, king of the island of Hawaii, conquered Oahu and united the Hawaiian Islands. In 1845 the royal capital was moved from Lahaina, on Maui, to Honolulu, on Oahu, which is now the state capital. By the late 19th century the monarchy was increasingly dominated by foreign interests. Queen Liliuokalani was overthrown in 1893 (she relates the tale in Hawaii’s Story by Hawaii’s Queen, 1898), and the island chain was annexed in 1898 by the United States. In the 20th century Oahu became the centre of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Oahu is the site of Pearl Harbor (where Japanese forces staged their first attack against the United States in World War II), Waikiki (with its world-famous beaches), and the North Shore (known for surfing). Oahu’s other notable sites include Hanauma Bay, part of Koko Head Regional Park, which is popular for snorkeling, and Diamond Head, an extinct volcano and distinctive landmark. In addition to Honolulu, important cities include Kailua, Kaneohe, and Wahiawa. Military installations, tourism, and pineapples are economically significant. Honolulu is the seat of the main campus of the University of Hawaii.
