Kamehameha I (c. 1758–1819)

Hawaiian unifier and king. Following the death in 1782 of the chief of Hawaii, his uncle Kalaniopu'u, Kamehameha conquered the island. After other victories on Maui, Oahu, Kauai, and the other islands, he formed the Kingdom of Hawaii by 1810. He stimulated Hawaiian trade but kept intact the customs and the religion of his people. Hawaii placed his statue in the US Capitol.

He was born on Kohala, Hawaii, then known as the Sandwich Islands.
