Waikiki, literally spouting water, is the name of what was once a lush wetland area where three mountain streams met the Pacific Ocean. With changes brought by American colonialism and the expansion of the United States to the Pacific Ocean, Waikiki was transformed into one of the most popular beachfront tourist destinations in the world.

A big city or small town, Waikiki has become part of America's story.
