After the initial Polynesian settlers, who arrived around 1,500 years ago, the next significant wave of Immigration to Hawaii occurred in the 19th century. This included a large influx of Asian laborers, particularly from China, Japan, Korea, and the Philippines, drawn by opportunities in the sugarcane and pineapple industries. Additionally, European and American missionaries, traders, and settlers contributed to the demographic changes during this period. The diverse mix of cultures significantly shaped Hawaii's social and cultural landscape.
