Ofu County was first recorded beginning with the 1930 U.S. Census.[5] It had previously been within Luanuu County. Its population zenith was in 1960, with 605 residents. It has since experienced a dramatic population decline (as has the Manu'u District), losing over 2/3rds of its population as of 2010.
