It is in Maoputasi County on the main island of Tutuila, it is home to one of the deepest natural deepwater harbors in the South Pacific Ocean, sheltered from wind and rough seas, strategically located.

Rainmaker Mountain is located in Pago Pago, gives the city the highest annual rainfall of any harbor in the world, it stands protectively over the eastern side of Pago Pago, making it one of the most sheltered deepwater anchorages in the Pacific Ocean. The strategic location of Pago Pago Bay played a direct role in the political separation of Western and Eastern Samoa; the initial reason for the U. S.’ interest in Tutuila was the desire to use Pago Pago Harbor as a coaling station.

The town is the southernmost U. S. capital, the only one located in the Southern Hemisphere. The letter “g” in Samoan sounds like "ng", it was called O le Maputasi in compliment to the Mauga, who lived at Gagamoe in Pago Pago and was the senior to all the other chiefs in the area. Pago Pago was first settled 4,000 years ago. Two missionaries were assigned to Tutuila Island in the 1830s: Reverend Murray and his wife to Pago Pago and Reverend Barnden to Leone, they hiked over the hill to the High Chief Mauga in Pago Pago. Mauga gave them support. Dunottar Castle moved to Pago Pago, becoming the second ship to enter Pago Pago Harbor; the missionaries chose to establish their headquarters at Leone. As early as 1839, American interest was generated for the Pago Pago area when Commander Charles Wilkes, head of the United States Exploring Expedition, surveyed Pago Pago Harbor and the island. Rumors of possible annexation by Britain or Germany were taken by the U. S. and the U. S. Secretary of State Hamilton Fish sent Colonel Albert Steinberger to negotiate with Samoan chiefs on behalf of American interests.

American interest in Pago Pago was a result of Tutuila's central position in one of the world's richest whaling grounds. In 1871, the local steamer business of W. H. Webb required coal and he sent Captain E. Wakeman to Samoa in order to evaluate the suitability of Pago Pago as a coaling station. Wakeman approved the harbor and alerted the U. S. Navy about Germany's intent to take over the area; the U. S. Navy responded a few months by dispatching Commander Richard Meade from Honolulu, Hawaii to assess Pago Pago's suitability as a naval station. Meade arrived in Pago Pago on USS Narragansett and made a treaty with the Mauga for the exclusive use of the harbor and a set of commercial regulations to govern the trading and shipping in Pago Pago, he purchased land for a new naval station. The chief of Pago Pago signed a treaty with the U. S. in 1872, giving the American government considerable influence on the island. It was acquired by the United States through a treaty in 1877. One year after the naval base was built at Pearl Harbor in 1887, the U.

S. government established a naval station in Pago Pago. It was used as a fueling station for both naval- and commercial ships; the U. S. Navy first established a coaling station in 1878, right outside Fagatogo; the United States Navy bought land east of Fagatogo and on Goat Island, an adjacent peninsula. Sufficient land was obtained in 1898 and the construction of United States Naval Station Tutuila was completed in 1902; the station commander doubled as American Samoa's Governor from 1899 to 1905, when the station commandant was designated Naval Governor of American Samoa. The Fono served as an advisory council to the governor. Despite being a part of the United States, Great Britain and Germany maintained a strong naval presence in the Samoan Islands. Twice between 1880–1900, the U. S. Navy came close to taking part in a shooting war while its only true interest was the establishment of a coaling station in Pago Pago; the U. S. purchased land around the harbor for the construction of the naval station.

It rented land on Fagatogo Beach for $10/month. Admiral Kimberly was ordered to Pago Pago while in Apia waiting for transportation home after the hurricane of 1889. In Pago Pago, he selected a site for the new coa

During the 1995–96 football season, English club Newcastle United participated in the Premier League, finishing in second place. An explosive start to the season saw Newcastle storm to the top of the Premier League table. At Christmas 1995 they held a lead of 10 points, which stretched to 12 points in mid-January 1996. However, a run of five defeats from eight matches enabled Manchester United to catch up and overtake them in March, Newcastle finished four points behind Alex Ferguson's team. Sir John Hall's millions allowed Newcastle to invest in players from across the globe. With a total of some £16 million spent on the signings of Les Ferdinand, David Ginola, Warren Barton and Shaka Hislop before the start of the season, Kevin Keegan's team made a strong start. Colombian striker Faustino Asprilla and England midfielder David Batty were attracted to the north-east in February 1996 for a combined total of around £11 million. Newcastle led the league for all of the season from August until mid-March, by Christmas had established a 10-point lead over Manchester United.

Though they lost 2-0 at Old Trafford on 27 December, they still managed to extend this lead to 12 points on 20 January 1996, putting them in prime position for the title with 15 matches remaining. However, Manchester United – bolstered by the return of Eric Cantona from suspension – enjoyed a surge in form, while Newcastle dropped vital points away to West Ham and Manchester City. A 1-0 win for Alex Ferguson's team at St James' Park on 4 March ended Newcastle's 100% home record in the league and cut their lead to a single point, further away defeats at Arsenal and Blackburn Rovers allowed Manchester United to overtake them and establish a lead that would prove decisive. Ferguson's mind games added further heat to the title race and provoked an infamous rant from Keegan live on Sky Sports on 29 April 1996, following his team's 1-0 win at Leeds United. A 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest three days left Newcastle needing to beat Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United needing to lose against Middlesbrough, if the title was to return to Tyneside for the first time since 1927.

In the end, a 1-1 draw proved academic as Manchester United beat the Teessiders 3-0, thus winning by four points. Nonetheless, Newcastle's second place was their highest finish for decades – and a far cry from the position they had been in when Keegan had taken over four years earlier and third-tier football was looking inevitable. Not to be deterred in his quest to bring the title back to Tyneside, Keegan purchased Newcastle-born striker Alan Shearer from Blackburn Rovers for a world-record fee of £15 million. However, he would resign as manager in January 1997. Newcastle United's kit was manufactured by the company Adidas and sponsored by Tyneside-based brewery Newcastle Brown Ale.

As of September 2016, the number of Syrians in Saudi Arabia is estimated to be 500,000 and consists of temporary foreign workers. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees' representative for the Persian Gulf region, Syrian nationals are referred to as "Arab brothers and sisters in distress". Saudi Arabia does not consider Syrians as refugees, they are provided free access to education and healthcare, allowed to take up jobs. As of September 2015, the flow of refugees to the European Union has increased and there is a rise in criticism of some Muslim nations for accepting few refugees; the Syrian Civil War forced millions to flee their homes in search of safety. Saudi Arabia, as a rich country, was criticized for not offering land to Syrian refugees – it only offers resettlement for asylum-seekers whose families reside in Saudi Arabia; the CIA World Factbook estimated that as of 2013, foreign nationals living in Saudi Arabia made up about 21% of the population. Total number of Syrians in Saudi Arabia was 100,000 before the start of Syrian Civil War.

Saudi Arabia, like all the other Arab states of the Persian Gulf, is not a signatory to the 1951 United Nations Refugee Convention, which mandates member states to protect refugees within their country. However, according to a Saudi official, Saudi Arabia has issued residency permits to 100,000 Syrians. On the other hand, the BBC claims, "Most successful cases are Syrians in the Gulf states extending their stays, or those entering because they have family there," and, "No Syrians claiming asylum have been taken in by Saudi Arabia or other wealthy Gulf countries."Syrians in Saudi Arabia include migrants from Syria to Saudi Arabia and their descendants. The number of Syrians in Saudi Arabia was estimated to be at around 500,000 people in August 2015 and consisted of temporary foreign workers. Saudi foreign ministry officials claim that the nation has received nearly 2.5 million Syrians since 2011. However, the BBC reports that Saudi Arabia has let in 500,000 Syrian refugees since 2011, while Arab News reported that Saudi Arabia was home to 500,000 Syrians Saudi Arabia claims to have granted 100,000 Syrians residency.

An official from Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Saudi Arabia "made it a point not to deal with them as'refugees'."Huffington post has criticized the international community for saying that Saudi Arabia has taken no refugees. The newspaper claimed that outlets in the US have exploited a technicality used by the UN to count Syrian refugees, that it is more plausible that 500,000 Syrian refugees are in Saudi Arabia.
