On this day in 1874, Hawaiian King David Kalakaua became the first reigning king to visit the United States. King Kalakaua visited President Ulysses S Grant at the White House.
David Kalakau, the last king of Hawaii, was born in Honolulu in 1836. He was the son of a high chief, and was educated at the Chiefs' Children's School in Honolulu. He took little part in public affairs until 1873, when he was a candidate for election to the throne, left vacant by the death of King Kamehameha V. He was defeated by William C. Lunalilo, who died one year later. Kalakaua was then elected king by the legislature in February 1874.
