One village, Ta’lopop, was a few miles up Malibu Canyon from Malibu Lagoon. Humaliwo was considered an important political center, but there were additional minor settlements in the area. It was the second-largest Chumash coastal settlement by the Santa Monica Mountains, after Muwu ( Point Mugu). The village, which is identified as CA-LAN-264, was occupied from approximately 2500 BCE. Humaliwo was next to Malibu Lagoon and an important regional center in prehistoric times. The city's name derives from this, as the "Hu" syllable is not stressed. The Chumash called the settlement Humaliwo or "the surf sounds loudly". The area is within the Chumash territory, which extended from the San Joaquin Valley to San Luis Obispo to Malibu, as well as several islands off the southern coast of California.
