The City and County of Honolulu is a combined city-county jurisdiction located in the U.S. state of Hawaiʻi. It is also the official municipal and cultural entity of the combined urban district of Honolulu and the rest of the island of Oʻahu in the U.S. state of Hawaiʻi, as prescribed in the city charter adopted in 1907 and accepted by the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaiʻi. The City and County encompasses all of the island of Oʻahu and several minor outlying islands including all of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (islands beyond Niʻihau except Midway Atoll). It acts as a public corporation that manages various aspects of traditional municipal governance primarily in the American manner. The population of the City and County was 876,156 at the 2000 census, making it the eleventh-largest municipality in the United States. Upon becoming a consolidated city-county on April 30, 1907, the combined territories were incorporated as the City and County of Honolulu, as it is known today.

The current Mayor of Honolulu is Peter Carlisle
