Lealataua County is a county in the Western District in American Samoa.
History In May 1956, the Aliʻi (High Chief) and tulafale (High Talking Chief) 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.West, Francis James (1961).
