Ceegenga was a Tongva village that was one of the closest located to San Fernando Mission at the time of its establishment by the Spanish in the late eighteenth century, [1] [2] possibly in the Granada Hills area. [3] Six baptisms from the village were recorded at the mission from 1797 to 1802. [4]
A possible alternative spelling for the village may have been Sesebenga [5] or Sasabenga. [3] The village was closely situated to the Tongva village of Momonga near the Chumash nation. [2]
