Moyongna

Moyongna, alternatively spelled Moyonga, was a coastal Tongva village or landmark site located near the entrance of Newport Bay in Newport Beach, California near Corona del Mar.

Some researchers have placed the location at the Newporter Inn in Corona Del Mar, which was built in the early 1960s, although others have referred to this as based on scanty evidence.

[3] As noted in 1962, signs of Indigenous inhabitance along this area of the coast was common: "Almost every ridge that ends at the sea between Corona del Mar and Dana Point has its soil flecked with charcoal, marine shells, and bits of bone.

"[7] In one map of the area published in 1978, the village was incorrectly labeled as Mocuachem,[8] a Payómkawichum village that was otherwise recorded in most other sources as located in the Las Pulgas area.
