This site was one of the largest Chumash villages on the coast. Portolá stated that at least 600 people lived here when he visited in 1769. The Santa Barbara Mission was founded in 1786, and the village had disappeared by the early 1830s. In 1923, archaeologist John P. Harrington excavated the property on behalf of the Smithsonian Institution. Over 2,500 objects were uncovered, which are now at the National Museum of the American Indian. This site was declared a California Historical Landmark in 1939, and the marker placed here in 1966.
Small neighborhood grassy open space lined with palm trees. Beautiful view of West Beach and the mouth of Santa Barbara Harbor.
Visited this park for the historical site Burtons Mound (CHL #308).
