evidence: Yes, American Samoa is an unincorporated U.S. territory that is situated in the southern parts of the Pacific Ocean. It is one of the two American possessions located in the Southern Hemisphere. American Samoa is made up of 2 coral atolls and 5 main islands with Tutuila being the most populous and largest in the region. Other islands which make up American Samoa include Swains Island, Rose Atoll, and the 'Manu'a Islands. All the islands making up American Samoa are part of the Samoan Islands except Swains Island. American Samoa has a population of about 55,689 people and occupies an area of approximately 77sq miles. [...] The inhabitants on 'Manu'a were unhappy since they had been left out in the name of the region "Naval Station Tutuila." Therefore, Governor Michael Crose sent a letter to the 'Navy's secretary and conveyed the sentiments of the people of 'Manu'a in May 1911. The Navy allowed the locals to select the name of the territory. The traditional leaders of the region picked "American Samoa" and the area was renamed on July 17, 1911. The U.S. annexed Swains Island in 1925.
