Hawaii has only one incorporated city, Honolulu. Hilo doesn't even have a city government, and it is the second biggest city in the state. This situation is unique to Hawaii in the United States. My understanding is that municipal incorporation has to get by the legislature, which is dominated by those who don't want to let go of the old plantation era centralized government operating out of Honolulu model. The neighbor islands are out voted in every facet of Hawaii government.
