Hawaii Territory, 1898–1959
On April 30, 1900, the Hawaiian Organic Act gave the Territory the authority to elect a single non-voting Congressional delegate.[1][2]
After Hawaii's admission to the Union as the 50th state by act of Congress on August 21, 1959, this district was replaced by Hawaii's at-large congressional district.
