Earthquake History of Hawaii
Much of the early record of Hawaiian earthquakes comes from the diary of Mrs. Sarah J. Lyman, a missionary's wife at Hilo, on the Big Island of Hawaii. She began her account in 1833 and continued it until her death in 1885; this record was then continued for eleven more years by her descendants. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/regional/states/hawaii/history.php
History of Hawaii
These lovely islands were discovered by the Polynesians, who gave them the name Hawaii. When Captain Cook discovered Hawaii 1778, he renamed them The Sandwich Islands after Britain's Earl of Sandwich. http://www.lava.net/~poda/history.html
