Samalae'ulu

Samalaeʻulu is a village on the northeast side of Savaiʻi island in Samoa. The village is situated on the main island highway about a 40-minutes drive north west from Salelologa ferry terminal and township and is part of the electoral constituency (Faipule District) of Gaga'emauga 1.^[1] The population is 1054, making it one of the more populous villages in Savai'i.^[2]

The villages name sa malae ulu means "this place used to be dominated by breadfruit trees".^[3] During the volcanic eruption of Mt Matavanu (1905 - 1911), lava flowed between Samalae'ulu and Saleaula to the west, forcing villagers to move from the coast to its present inland location.
