Hawaii was first settled hundreds of years ago, perhaps as early as the 600s. The earliest settlers were Polynesians, people from islands in the South Pacific. To reach Hawaii, they traveled more than 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometers) across the Pacific in long wooden canoes.
For a long time, Hawaii was best known for growing pineapple and sugarcane. Many people were brought in to work on pineapple and sugar plantations. The workers came mainly from East Asia, especially from China, Korea, Japan, and the Philippines. Today, many of Hawaii’s people have East Asian ancestry.
