Ceegenga was a Tongva village that was one of the closest located to San Fernando Mission at the time of its establishment by the Spanish in the late eighteenth century,[1][2] possibly in the Granada Hills area.[3] Six baptisms from the village were recorded at the mission from 1797 to 1802.[4]

A possible alternative spelling for the village may have been Sesebenga[5] or Sasabenga.[3] The village was closely situated to the Tongva village of Momonga near the Chumash nation.[2]
