Aloha. Answer: If you mean on what day was Hawai`i discovered, then it was 18 January, 1778. The islands were inhabited before that, so really, they were already discovered, but it was on that day that Captain James Cook brought them into English recognition. He didn't call them Hawai`i though. He called them the Sandwich Isles (named after a friend, the Earl of Sandwich).
