Park Creation Timeline

1988
On October 31, 1988 Congress passes the legislation necessary to authorize the park. However, the National Park Service could not purchase the land needed because local custom allows only for communal land ownership.
1993
On September 9, 1993, the NPS solves the land problem by entering into a 50 year lease for the park lands from the village councils.
2002
On December 16, 2002, Congress passes a bill authorizing an expansion of the park land by 30% to include parts of Ofu and Olosega Islands.
