The Big Island is full of history. Dating
back to the arrival of the Polynesians that became the
Hawaiian people, to the arrival of the first European
explorers, whalers, and missionaries, to the influx of foreign field
workers to support the sugar and pineapple industries, and
finally the annexation of Hawaii by the American government.
There are many Museums and historical landmarks on the Big
Island
documenting the colorful history and cultures of Hawaii. |
