Hawaiʻi is the largest island located in the
U.S. state of
Hawaii. It is the largest and the southeastern-most of the
Hawaiian Islands, a chain of
volcanic islands in the
North Pacific Ocean. With an area of 4,028 square miles (10,430 km2), it has 63% of the Hawaiian
archipelago's combined landmass, and is the
largest island in the United States. However, it only has 13% of Hawaiʻi’s people. The island of Hawaiʻi is the third largest island in
Polynesia, behind the two main
islands of New Zealand.

The island is often referred to as the
Island of Hawaiʻi,
[4] the
Big Island, or
Hawaiʻi Island to distinguish it from the state. Administratively, the whole island is encompassed by
Hawaiʻi County.
As of the
2010 Census the population was 185,079.
[5] The
county seat and largest city is
Hilo. There are no
incorporated cities in Hawaiʻi County (see
List of counties in Hawaii).
