The Federation of Lofa Associations in the Americas (FLAA) is a nationwide 501(c)(3) Liberian organization in the U.S. Its membership comes originally from the largest county in Liberia located in the northwest of the country. FLAA was founded on May 24, 1991, at a Detroit Conference, to strengthen Lofa communities and cultural identities in the U.S., and to reach out to the populations left behind in the villages and towns of that great county.

Lofa County is one of the fifteen political sub-divisions of the Republic of Liberia, and is situated at the north-western part of Liberia. It is bounded on the east and north by Guinea, west by Sierra Leone, on the south by Gbarpolu County and Bong County. The County was established in 1964 by an Act of Legislature/Executive Order.
