Fusi is an area located between the Vaipito Valley and Autapini in Pago Pago, American Samoa. It is a tract of land situated along the headwaters of Pago Pago Bay. Historically, this area has been the subject of legal disputes and jurisprudence concerning land ownership, governmental authority, condemnation proceedings, and accretions formed along the shoreline. The term "Fusi" in Samoan language can mean "swampy," reflecting the marsh-like conditions that once characterized portions of the terrain. Portions of Fusi were once swampy and occasionally covered by tidal waters, and during World War II, sections of the shoreline were filled in by the U.S. military. Fusi lies seaward of the main East-West highway encircling Pago Pago Bay.
