"Sogelau Hill Flag Pole is a flat terrace on the side of a hill measuring approximately 10.2 m. length, 6.7 m. in width, oriented along an axis of 248 degrees magnetic. The property is located on a hill in Fagatogo, in Mauputasi County, Tutuila Island, American Samoa. The area is filled with lush grass partially shaded by the hill and trees tended by an extended Samoan family that owns the area. In the center of the terrace is a flag pol where the first form raising of the flag of the United States occurred, on April 17, 1900, symbolizing American Samoa's deed of cession to the United States." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the American Samoa Historic Preservation Office, Executive Offices of the Governor, administered by the Pacific West Regional Office, National Park Service, U.S. Department of Interior (grant number P15AF00103).
