Pago Pago is one of the several villages along the shore of the harbor and is located at the very back (inside) of the [[embayment]]. However, because the name ''Pago Pago'' is associated with the harbor itself — the only significant port of call in American Samoa — ''Pago Pago'' is now generally applied not only to the village itself, but to the whole harbor area and the whole town that encompasses the adjacent village of [[Fagatogo, American Samoa|Fagatogo]]&mdash;the seat of the local territorial government.<Ref>

Pago Pago is a mixture of colorful semiurban communities, a small town, tuna canneries (which provide employment for a third of the population of Tutuila) and a harbor surrounded by dramatic cliffs, which plunge almost straight into the sea. A climb to the summit of [[Mt. Alava]] (see [[National Park of American Samoa]]) provides a magnificent bird's-eye view of the harbor and town. Until [[1980]], one could experience the view from the peak by taking an [[aerial tramway]] over the harbor, but on [[14 Aprilis]] of that year a [[U.S. Navy]] plane, flying overhead as part of the [[Flag Day]] celebrations, struck the cable; the plane then crashed into a wing of the [[Rainmaker Hotel]]. The tram remains unusable, although according to ''[[Lonely Planet]],'' plans have been put forth to reopen it. Less spectacular is the view from the top of the pass above Aua Village on the road to [[Afono]].
