About American Samoa

American Samoa is the only U.S. territory south of the equator, and its economy is anchored by one real, massive industrial fact most Americans have never heard of: StarKist has operated a tuna cannery in Pago Pago for decades, historically one of the territory's largest private employers. A single-industry American economy, genuinely overlooked because of where it sits on the map.
