History

Historical Context

Hawaii's journey to statehood began with the overthrow of its monarchy in 1893 and subsequent annexation by the U.S. in 1898. After decades of advocacy, the Hawaii Admission Act was signed into law by President Dwight D. Eisenhower on March 18, 1959. Hawaii became the 50th state on August 21, 1959, allowing greater representation for its diverse population of 1.4 million residents.
