Oʻahu (pronounced
[oˈʔɐhu]) or
Oahu /oʊˈɑːhuː/, known as
"The Gathering Place", is the third largest of the
Hawaiian Islands. It is home to about two-thirds of the population of the
U.S. state of
Hawaii. The state capital,
Honolulu, is on Oʻahu's southeast coast. Including small close-in offshore islands such as
Ford Island and the islands in
Kāneʻohe Bay and off the eastern (
windward) coast, it has a total land area of 596.7 square miles (1,545.4 km2), making it the
20th largest island in the United States.
[1] Along with the rest of the Hawaiian Islands, Oahu is one of the largest and northernmost islands of
Polynesia.
In the greatest dimension, this volcanic island is 44 miles (71 km) long and 30 miles (48 km) across. The length of the shoreline is 227 miles (365 km). The island is the result of two separate
shield volcanoes: the
Waiʻanae and
Koʻolau Ranges, with a broad "valley" or saddle (the central Oʻahu Plain) between them. The highest point is
Kaʻala in the Waiʻanae Range, rising to 4,003 feet (1,220 m) above sea level
