Campo De Cahuenga
The Campo de Cahuenga, () near the historic Cahuenga Pass in present-day Los Angeles, was an adobe ranch house on the Rancho Cahuenga where the Treaty of Cahuenga was signed between Lieutenant Colonel John C. Frémont and General Andrés Pico in 1847, ending hostilities in California between Mexico and the United States. The subsequent Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo of 1848, ceding California, parts of Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Arizona (but not Texas since it had seceded from Mexico in 1836, declared itself a republic, and joined the union in 1845) to the United States, formally ended the Mexican–American War. From 1858 to 1861 the Campo de Cahuenga became a Butterfield Stage Station. History The original adobe structure was demolished in 1900. The city of Los Angeles provided funds for the purchase of the property in 1923, and a Mission Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival style replica "adobe" ranch house was built by the city following an effort led by Irene T. ...

Cahuenga, California
Cahuenga ( (also ''Kawé’nga'', Cabeugna, Kowanga, Kawengha, Kawee’nga, or Cabuenga) or "place of the hill" is a former Tongva– Tataviam (''Fernandeño''–''Gabrieleño'') Native American settlement in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California. One source suggests ''kawe'' means ''mountain'' in Tongva language. Recent linguistic work suggests an alternative meaning of "place of the fox". The Tongva-language suffix ''-nga'' indicates place, and the suffix ''-bet'' or ''-bit'' indicates person from place; people from Cahuenga were recorded in mission registers as ''Capuebet.'' The precise location of the village is unknown but it was near the Mission San Fernando Rey de España, possibly near present-day Universal City. In a 2019 map, the village was placed near the Valley Village neighborhood in Los Angeles. Archeologists commissioned by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) to investigate the Campo de Cahueng ...

Cahuenga Peak
Cahuenga Peak () is the 12th-highest named peak in the Santa Monica Mountains and is located just west of the Hollywood Sign. Cahuenga Peak is the highest peak in Griffith Park. It provides a spectacular 360-degree panorama of the Los Angeles Basin and the San Fernando Valley for those hikers willing to climb the roadless peak. History Howard Hughes acquired the peak and surrounding acreage in the 1940s with plans to build a house for his love interest, actress Ginger Rogers. Rogers broke up their engagement, so the area was left undeveloped. In 2002, a group of Chicago-area investors named Fox River Financial Resources purchased the parcel along the ridge including Cahuenga Peak from the Hughes Estate for $1,675,000 according to Los Angeles County property records. The investors considered constructing five luxury estates on the property. Conservation Los Angeles city officials said City Hall had received hundreds of letters pleading for the peak's protection, which pro ...
