The earliest settlements in the Hawaiian Islands were made by Polynesians who traveled to Hawaii. On January 18, 1778, Captain James Cook and his crew, while attempting to discover the Northwest Passage between Alaska and Asia, found the Hawaiian islands. He named them the "Sandwich Islands". It became a US state on August 20, 1959.
