Ofu County Explained

Ofu County is a county in the Manu'a District in American Samoa.[1] [2] [3] It was the result of the subdivision of the prior Luanuu County in two, with the other newly created county being Olosega, first reported on the 1930 U.S. Census. It is now contiguous with its only village, Ofu.
