Satala Cemetery U.S. National Register of Historic Places U.S. Historic district Location AS 1, W of Satala, Lalopua, American Samoa Coordinates 14°16′15″S 170°41′42″W / 14.2707°S 170.6949°W / -14.2707; -170.6949 Area 0.6 acres (0.24 ha) Built 1900 (1900) Architect U.S. Navy NRHP reference No. 05001110[1] Added to NRHP October 19, 2006

The **Satala Cemetery** is located on the north side of [Pago Pago Harbor](/source/Pago_Pago_Harbor) on the island of [Tutuila](/source/Tutuila), the largest in [American Samoa](/source/American_Samoa). The cemetery was established, apparently late in the 19th century, by the [United States Navy](/source/United_States_Navy), as an interment site for foreigners on the island. Traditional Samoan burial practice is to bury family members on their property, a method not available to outsiders. One section of the cemetery is dedicated to graves of Korean fishermen.[2]

The cemetery was listed on the [National Register of Historic Places](/source/National_Register_of_Historic_Places) in 2006.[1] It was damaged by a [tsunami](/source/2009_Samoa_earthquake_and_tsunami) that struck the island in 2009.[3]
