'''Tutuila''' is the main or largest [[island]] of [[American Samoa]], and the third largest island in the Samoan Island chain (see [[Samoa]]). The island is distinctive in the [[Pacific Ocean|Central Pacific]] for its large, natural harbor—Pago Pago Harbor—on which the capital of American Samoa, [[Pago Pago]], is located.

The area of the island is 141.81 km² (54.75 sq mi), and it has a [[United States Census, 2000|2000 census]] population of 55,876. (These figures include [[Aunu'u]] Island, off the southeast coast of Tutuila, which has a land area of 1.517 km² and a population of 476.) The highest point on the island is [[Matafao peak]] (653 m or 2142 ft). In the early 19th century, Tutuila was called ''Maouna''. Politically, the island is divided into two of American Samoa's primary divisions, the [[Eastern District, American Samoa|Eastern District]] and the [[Western District, American Samoa|Western District]].
