| Approximately 46,000 people live in its 77 square miles, which consist of five inhabited volcanic islands — Tutuila, Aunu'u, Ofu, Olosega, and Ta'u — and two uninhabited atolls, Rose and Swains Island. Polynesian peoples have inhabited this region for over 3,000 years. After European explorers arrived in 1722, the islands fell under the rule of various colonial powers until 1900, when the territory was formally ceded to the U.S. by the matai (local chiefs) of Tutuila.
