Hawaii (ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi: Hawaiʻi) became the 50th state of the United States on August 21, 1959. It is situated in the North Pacific Ocean, 2,300 miles (3,700 km) from the mainland, at 21°18′41″N, 157°47′47″W. During roughly 1778–1898, Hawaii was also known as the Sandwich Islands. South Point or Ka Laʻe, on the Big Island, is the southernmost tip of Hawaiʻi and the southernmost point in the United States.

It's about 2,300 miles from Honolulu to San Franciso, which appears to be the closest point to the islands. It's very slightly further from Hawaii to mainland Alaska.

About 3,000 miles. I live on the East Coast and it takes just as long to fly from Boston to California (3,000 miles) as it does from California to Honolulu.
