Maugna, California

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maugna is a former Tongva-Gabrieleño Native American settlement, or ranchería, in Los Angeles County, California.[1] It was located at Rancho Los Feliz (Rancho Felis), present day Hollywood.[1][2]

The settlement was one of twenty seven villages included in the records of Mission San Gabriel, indicating that villagers from Maugna were baptized and enslaved at the mission after its establishment in the Los Angeles Basin in 1776.[3]
