Honolulu is the “largest” city in the world. That’s because Hawaii’s state constitution states that any island not named as belonging to a county belongs to Honolulu. This makes the entire island of Oahu, where Honolulu is located, plus all the other small, uninhabited islands, known as the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, part of Honolulu. Honolulu is about 1,500 miles (2,414 km) long. Or in other words, it spans the distance from Los Angeles, California, to Denver, Colorado.

Oahu is home to the world’s largest wind generator. The windmill is located on the top of a 20-story tower. It has two blades, each measuring 400 feet (122 m) in length.

Foster Botanical Garden near Iolani Palace was built in 1855, which makes it the oldest garden in Hawaii.

Waikiki attracts 72,000 visitors on any given day. That’s as much as 44 percent of all tourists present in the entire state of Hawaii.

Iolani Palace, located in downtown Honolulu, is the only royal palace in the United States.

Electric lights illuminated Iolani Palace four years before the White house had them.

Honolulu is the second most expensive city in the United States, after Anchorage, Alaska.

More people live on the island of Oahu than in the entire state of Alaska. Oahu's population was 953,307 (2010 Census), while Alaska's population was 710,231 (2010 Census). Oahu has a land area of 596.7 square miles (1,545.4 km²) compared to Alaska's land area of 663,268 square miles (1,717,854 km²).
