Wapijanga was a Tongva village in what is now Chino Hills, California, located between the San Gabriel Mountains and Saddleback Peak along Chino Creek. It was upstream from the village of Pashiinonga and was also called Wajijanga or Wapijangna. San Gabriel Mission records describe it as a large village. Wapijanga was a place where Tongva and Serrano people met and interacted, with the Serrano living farther east. It was closest to the Tongva villages of Pashiinonga (also in Chino Hills) and Tooypinga (along San Jose Creek near the grounds of the Los Angeles County Fair). The site was submerged when Prado Dam was built in 1941.
