Honolulu, Hawaii

Although the island of Honolulu in Hawaii has been populated for many hundreds of years it only became a US colony when it was annexed by the US in 1898. Originally a modest village, the city became a prosperous trading center and later a vital US military post. Today most visitors come to Honolulu to soak up the sun and enjoy a multitude of adventure sports, but if you are interested in learning more about the often-turbulent history of the island you can visit several historic sites including Pearl Harbor, Iolani Palace, and Kilohana Plantation Estate. Other interesting historic sites include Hulihee Summer Palace and Puuhonua o Honaunau National Historic Park. 25 of the Oldest Cities in the United States - Photo: kyrien/Fotolia
