Juyubit

Juyubit (also, Jujubit) was one of the largest villages[1] of the Tongva people.

The village was located at the foot of the West Coyote Hills at the confluence of the Coyote and La Cañada Verde creeks, in present-day Buena Park and Cerritos.

[2] Alternate names of the village include: Jujubit, Jutucubit, Jutucuvit, Jutubit, Jutucunga, Utucubit, Otocubit, Uchubit, Ychubit, and Uchunga.

[5] One woman from Juyubit, Eulalia María, was baptized at the age of six and became a godmother as an adult.

[7] Versions of Juyubit are mentioned in the narrative legend of the late 18th—early 19th century Tongvan heroine Toypurina.
