This time last year, I was knee-deep into a Hawaii fact finding mission. To celebrate Hawaii’s 50th anniversary as the 50th US state, I published 50 interesting facts about the Aloha State. It was a fun learning experience. Since it’s a year later, and we could all use a refresher, I took the time to gather all 50 facts into one convenient spot. So, study these today as there will be a pop quiz tomorrow. 1: The First Commercial Flights To Hawaii 2: When the Flag with the 50th Star First Flew 3: Hawaii Time 4: Hawaii’s Population Ranks 42nd In the US 5: Hawaii’s Diverse Population 6: Hawaii Has 5 Counties 7: Is Hawaii the Smallest State? 8: Hawaii’s Fishes Are Unique 9: The First Seeds of Hawaii’s Statehood 10: Hawaii’s State Flag 11: Hawaii’s Diverse Climates 12: Hawaii is Home to the World’s Tallest Mountains 13: The Dance Developed in Hawaii 14: Another Name for the Hawaiian Islands 15: No Billboards in the 50th State 16: Island Nicknames 17: Hawaii is Home to the Smallest US County 18: How Big is Hawaii’s Big Island? 19: Hawaii Loves Spam 20: The Hawaiian Alphabet 21: Hawaii’s Northwestern & Southeastern Islands 22: Hawaii Was First United Under King Kamehameha 23: Hawaii’s Average Water Temperature 24: Hawaii’s Endemic Happy Face Spider 25: America’s Only Royal Residence 26: Hawaii’s State Flower 27: Historic Pacific Cable Speeds Communication To/From Hawaii 28: How Many People Visit Hawaii Each Year? 29: Hawaii is Home to the Earth’s Wettest Spot 30: Where WW II Began & Ended in the Same Spot 31: Ka Lae is Hawaii’s & the US’s Southernmost Point 32: Hawaii’s State Capitol Building 33.
