===Indigenous history===
[[File:ElAliso treepre1875drawing.jpg|thumb|left|[[Yaanga]], a prominent [[Tongva]] village, stood in the area before the Spanish founded Los Angeles.]]
The settlement of [[Indigenous peoples of California|Indigenous Californians]] in the modern [[Los Angeles Basin]] and the [[San Fernando Valley]] was dominated by the [[Tongva]] (now also known as the ''Gabrieleño'' since the era of Spanish colonization). The historic center of Tongva power in the region was the settlement of [[Yaanga]] ([[Tongva language|Tongva]]: ''Iyáangẚ''), meaning "place of the [[Toxicodendron diversilobum|poison oak]]", which would one day be the site where the Spanish founded the [[Pueblo de Los Ángeles]]. ''Iyáangẚ'' has also been translated as "the valley of smoke".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.sacbee.com/101/story/1066675.html|title=Smoke is Normal&nbsp;– for 1800|last=Bowman|first=Chris|date=July 8, 2008|newspaper=[[The Sacramento Bee]]|access-date=October 6, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080709015204/http://www.sacbee.com/101/story/1066675.html|archive-date=July 9, 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://webarchive.iiasa.ac.at/Admin/PUB/Documents/IR-98-077.pdf|title=Environment: Evolution of a Concept|author=Gordon J.
