Honolulu

Hawaii’s capital and largest city, Honolulu covers the entire island of Oahu and is home to about 1 million residents. Tourism, the military, government and health care drive a stable economy. Millions of visitors come each year for Waikiki, Diamond Head, the North Shore and the Pearl Harbor National Memorial, while Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam and U.S. Indo-Pacific Command make Oahu a major military hub. The University of Hawaii at Manoa, Hawaii Pacific University and Chaminade University anchor higher education, and Iolani Palace, the only royal palace in the United States, reflects the island’s rich history. A blend of cultures and year-round warm weather make Honolulu a place people want to live, work and play.
