There are 8 main Hawaiian Islands and 7 of those are permanently inhabited. The most populous island is OÊ»ahu (nicknamed The Gathering Place). The largest island is HawaiÊ»i (nicknamed The Big Island) at 4,028 square miles. Despite the state’s size and growing population, there is only one Hawaii area code. Established in 1957, area code 808 covers the entire state including the aforementioned two and Ni’ihau, Kaua’i, Moloka’i, Lana’i, Kaho’olawe and Maui. It serves over one million residents and isn’t slated to be exhausted until 2029. Learn more by checking out our infographic below:
