Hawaii was formed by underwater volcanoes many years ago. Over millions of years the lava kept building up till they reached the ocean surface. Over the years the lava became soil. Birds and the ocean brought seeds to the island, giving it the green plants it has today. About 2,000 years ago the first Hawaiians came to Hawaii in big canoes. These people were known as Polynesians. About 800 years ago people from Tahiti arrived. They brought animals and seeds with them. In 1778 Captain James Cook arrived in Hawaii. Cook wasn't looking for Hawaii he was looking for a waterway through North America. Cook and a Hawaiian Chief got into a big fight about a stolen boat. Cook died in the fight with a few of his men. The rest of Cooks men buried them in Kealakekua. Around 1792 Kamehameha was chief of the Hawaii. Each of the Hawaiian islands had its own leader or chief, but Kamehameha wanted all the islands to himself and his family, soon after he became ruler of all the Hawaiian islands.
