The village is part of the electoral constituency (Faipule District) Anoamaa East which is within the larger political district of Atua. Geographically, it is one of the oldest and largest villages in Samoa, at one point stretching from its ancient border with Uafato to Saolufata, until portion of these lands were given to form the settlements of Falevao, Lufilufi, Falepuna, Sauano & Saletele which came about in later centuries. Falefa was founded by two brothers in the 13th century - Moeono & Leutele, who had left their birthplace at Uafato (Fagaloa) and were headed west along the mountain ranges of Le Mafa pass.
