Itūʻau County

In Nuʻuuli in the south, power was divided between village high chief Savusa and the Four Chiefly Houses of the Soliai, Tago, Levu, and Alega.

In Fagasā in the north, leadership was shared by the Tupuola and the Alo.

These villages lie across from each other, Nuʻuuli on the south shoreline of Tutuila Island and Fagasā on the north side.

[5] The name of the county, Itūʻau, is derived from the Samoan language and translates into English as “Army"[6] or “side of the warriors”.

[8] Itu'au County was first recorded beginning with the 1912 special census.
