Malaloa is a sub-village of Fagatogo and is located at the end of Pago Pago Harbor in American Samoa.[1] It is located in-between Fagatogo proper and the village of Pago Pago.[2] Cruising boats entering and leaving Pago Pago should clear at Malaloa Marina. The Malaloa Marina was opened for cruisers’ use and has added a customs wharf to handle inbound and outbound clearances.
In 1912, a hospital was constructed on the face of the hill overlooking Pago Pago Bay in Malaloa. It also housed the first nursing school in American Samoa. The health center was later relocated to Utulei until the new LBJ Hospital in Faga'alu was completed on June 6, 1968. The school of nursing in Malaloa became the first high school in American Samoa when established in 1946.[1]
The American Samoa Senate approved a bill in August 2018 which allocated $1.5 million for the construction of the Malaloa Dock.[3][4]
A designated park area administrated by the Department of Parks and Recreation is located between Burns Philp and the yacht quay.[5]
