Homhoangna (alternatively Homoa or Homhoa) was a Tongva village located at what is now the area in-between the Santa Ana River, Colton Avenue, and the Southern Pacific Railroad.[1] The village is associated with the area of Colton, California.[2]

The village's name is reflected in the alternative place name designation for Reche Canyon, which is also known as Homhoa Canyon, Homoa Canyon, and Homuba Canyon.[3] The Tongva language word for "hilly place" was reportedly homhoabit.[3]

The village was located at the base of the foothills which surrounded it.[3]
