Long before the development of Los Angeles, Southern California was known for its grasslands, estuaries and oak-covered foothills. The original people of Los Angeles, the Tongva, defined their world as Tovaangar.
It extended from Palos Verdes to San Bernardino, from Saddleback Mountain to the San Fernando Valley.Tovaangar supported about 5,000 people in nearly 100 villages. Each village was independent and interconnected. Baptismal records from the Spanish missions collected by the Early California Cultural Atlas project suggest the size of each village, represented in orange.
Santa Catalina Island, or Pimu, was valued by the Tongva for its natural resources. It was an important ceremonial center connected to Povuu'nga.On the western edge of Tovaangar, the Valley was at the crossroads of cultures and languages, including Tongva, Fernandeño and Chumash.The village Koruuvanga in West Los Angeles was the site of a spring that still flows and is maintained by the Gabrieliño/Tongva Springs Foundation.Between 1769 and 1840, Tovaangar was irrevocably changed.
