The day commemorates King Kamehameha III, who established the date of sovereignty as its first national holiday. In 1840, British forces raised the union jack in Honolulu to symbolize taking control of Hawaii.

King Kamehameha III responded by sending representatives to a British court.

It was on July 31, 1843, that the Hawaiian flag was re-raised in Honolulu and power was returned to the king.
