Mexicans in Hawaii ...
The State of Hawaii is home to 35,415 persons of Mexican origin according to the U.S. Census from 2010. While the majority of this population lives on the Island of Oahu, home to the state capital of Honolulu, as a percentage, the most Mexican areas of Hawaii are Maui and the Island of Hawaii, known as the Big Island. The Mexican population in Hawaii has a long history, dating back to Mexican cowboys who arrived in the islands in the 1830's. After World War II, an increasing number of Mexican Americans or Chicanos made their way to the Hawaiian Islands, and in the late 1980's began a steady stream of Mexican immigrants to work in the agricultural, construction, and service industries.
