There are many villages, towns and cities on the six islands of Hawaii. However as Honolulu is the capital it isn't a surprise that it's the largest city with the highest population 374,658 (these are the figures for 2009). Honolulu covers 177.2 cm² so the population density in Honolulu only is 2114/km². The next not as big and beautiful city in Hawaii is Pearl City which isn't as favoured by tourists. Pearl City has a much lower population of 47,698 (as it is recorded in the 2010 census). Pearl City is a city with 15.02 km² of land area resulting in that the population density is a staggering 3176/km², which much much higher than Honolulu. The population of Hawaii is 1.392 million. Hawaii is most famous for it's culture and natural beauty. There are many Hawaiian rituals and festivals. And it's history with good times and some not as good. But still interesting...
