Lealataua County
Lealataua County is a county in the Western District in American Samoa.
History
In May 1956, the Aliʻi and tulafale of Lealataua County were unable to reach a consensus on a single candidate for county chief. Consequently, Governor Richard Barrett Lowe intervened by setting a deadline for their discussions, requiring them to submit the names of all eligible and qualified candidates still under consideration by the county council.Demographics
Lealataua County was first recorded beginning with the 1912 special census. Regular decennial censuses were taken beginning in 1920.Villages
