<div id="ygrps-yiv-1260067882">Kevin Meynell asked on Tuesday:<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; What was the reason for separating Palmyra from Hawaii at the time of <br/>
&gt; statehood?<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>After laborious digging, I have found the explanation in the words of a Senator <br/>
in a government report.  I will write it up at length for you tomorrow (when <br/>
it&#39;s not 12:20 a.m.).  You&#39;ll just have to wait.  Hint:  It&#39;s an extremely petty <br/>
reason that has to do with the size of a city in another state.  Municipal <br/>
boundary freaks are going to love this one!<br/>
