The island of Oʻahu and the uninhabited Northwestern Hawaiian Islands [2] constitute the City and County of Honolulu. In 2021, Oʻahu had a population of 995,638, [3] up from 953,207 in 2010 (approximately 70% of the total 1,455,271 population of the Hawaiian Islands, [4] with approximately 81% of those living in or near the Honolulu urban area).
The island of Oʻahu has just over one million residents (about 70% of the state's population), and the island of Hawaiʻi is by far the largest island with an area of 4,028 sq mi (10,430 km 2)—62.7% of the state's land area. The islands were first settled as early as AD 300 by Polynesian long-distance navigators.

Diamond Head is a volcanic tuff cone on the Hawaiian island of Oʻahu.It is known to Hawaiians as Lēʻahi (pronounced [leːˈʔɐhi]), which is most likely derived from lae (browridge, promontory) plus ʻahi (tuna) because the shape of the ridgeline resembles the shape of a tuna's dorsal fin.
