After doing some research we have found that the most isolated city was in fact Honolulu in Hawaii with its nearest capital city being Dalap-Uliga-Darrit or Majuro on the Atoll of Majuro in the Marshall Islands - 3,673km or 2,282 miles away. Some might say it is a collection of three communities or towns with a total population of 25,400 (2004), but it is listed as the capital city of Majuro and does have an International Airport the same as Hawaii.


Many Web sites say that Perth is the most isolated city. Perth's closest capital city - surface direct distance - is Adelaide (S.A.) 2,129km or 1,323 miles. Other cities in proximity: Melbourne (Vic) is 2,719km or 1,689 miles. Jakarta in Indonesia is 3,021km or 1,877 miles. Sydney (N.S.W.) is 3,287km or 2,042 miles. Singapore is 3,906km or 2,427 miles.
