The trail was used by Native Americans 3,000 years ago to travel from Achoicominga (San Fernando) to the village of Momonga (Chatsworth). Apeta Momonga means Trail to Momonga.
After Mission San Fernando was established in 1797, the trail was used to travel from San Fernando to the Simi Adobe and on to Mission San Buenaventura, becoming the El Camino Real across the San Fernando Valley.
Today the remaining trail runs from Tampa Ave to De Soto Ave, just south of the 118 freeway. It was designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 1177 in 2019.
