[[American Samoa]] is administratively divided into three [[district]]s ([[Western District, American Samoa|Western]], [[Eastern District, American Samoa|Eastern]] and [[Manu{{okina}}a District|Manu{{okina}}a]]) and two unorganized [[atoll]]s ([[Swains Island]] and [[Rose Atoll]]). The districts are subdivided into 15 counties,{{efn|name=fofo|An American Samoan law of 1962 defined 14 counties.<ref name=lawcounties>[https://asbar.org/code-annotated/5-0102-division-of-districts-into-counties/ 5.0102 Division of districts into counties], Code Annotated, American Samoa Bar Association.</ref> The constitution of 1967, signed by delegates from these 14 counties, established 15 counties from then on, separating Fofo from Lealataua.<ref name=constitution>[https://asbar.org/revised-constitution-of-american-samoa/ Revised Constitution of American Samoa], American Samoa Bar Association.</ref> The election law was later revised accordingly,<ref name=lawsenate>[https://asbar.org/code-annotated/2-0202-districts/ 2.0202 Districts], Code Annotated, American Samoa Bar Association.</ref><ref name=lawhouse>[https://asbar.org/code-annotated/2-0302-districts/ 2.0302 Districts], Code Annotated, American Samoa Bar Association.</ref><ref name=lawelection>[https://asbar.org/code-annotated/6-0102-definitions/ 6.0102 Definitions], Code Annotated, American Samoa Bar Association.</ref> and the government lists 15 counties, including Fofo with its own chief,<ref name=localgov>[https://web.archive.org/web/20201218051225/https://www.americansamoa.gov/local-government-samoan-affairs Local Government], American Samoa Government.

For statistical purposes, the [[United States Census Bureau]] counts the three districts and two unorganized atolls as five [[County (United States)|county equivalents]], while treating the actual counties as [[minor civil division]]s.<ref name=censusdef>[https://www2.census.gov/geo/pdfs/reference/GARM/Ch4GARM.pdf States, Counties, and Statistically Equivalent Entities], United States Census Bureau.</ref>

American Samoa has only one U.S. [[ZIP code]]: 96799.<ref>[https://www.zip-codes.com/state/as.asp American Samoa ZIP Codes], Zip-codes.com.</ref>

==Local government structure==

[[Amata Coleman Radewagen]]'s congressional website said the following about American Samoa's districts:<ref name=Amata>[https://radewagen.house.gov/about/our-district Our District, American Samoa – A Territory of the United States], Congresswoman Aumua Amata Coleman Radewagen. Accessed October 25, 2023.</ref>

{{blockquote|Each [district] is administered by a district governor who is appointed by the [[Governor of American Samoa|territorial governor]]. To be qualified as a district governor, an individual must hold a [[Matai title|''matai'' title]] within the district to which he/she is to be appointed.<ref name=Amata/>}}

The [[U.S. National Park Service]] says the following about the structure of villages in American Samoa:<ref name=NPS>[https://www.nps.gov/npsa/learn/historyculture/people.htm National Park of American Samoa, History & Culture – People], U.S. National Park Service. Accessed October 25, 2023.</ref>

{{blockquote|In general each village is made up of a group of ''aiga'' (extended families) which include as many relatives as can be claimed. Each ''aiga'' is headed by a matai (chief) who represents the family on all matters including the village council, or ''fono''. ''Matais'' hold title to all assets of the ''aigas'', or families, they represent and are responsible for law enforcement and punishment of infractions occurring in their villages. The ''fono'' consists of the ''matais'' of all the ''aiga'' associated with the village. The highest chief of the ''matais'' of all the village ''aigas'' is the highest chief or the ''ali{{okina}}i'' and heads the ''fono''. Also, each village has a ''pulenu{{okina}}u'' (somewhat like a police chief or mayor) and one or more talking chiefs, ''tulafale''."<ref name=NPS/>}}
