[3] During the establishment of nearby Mission San Gabriel, Spanish soldiers raped the wife of a local tomyaar or leader, which prompted an attack on the mission.
Soldiers conducted sweeps of the Los Angeles Basin area, in which children were abducted to the missions and women were raped.
In these sweeps, the entire village of Tooypinga was razed in an attack by Spanish soldiers prior to 1785.
[3] The destroyed village site would become part of the Rancho San José, which was established in 1837.
This would eventually become at or near the grounds of the Los Angeles County Fair.
