Cahuenga Pass, Mountain pass in Hollywood Hills, United States.
The Cahuenga Pass extends through the eastern section of the Santa Monica Mountains, connecting the Los Angeles Basin with the San Fernando Valley.
Two battles occurred at Cahuenga Pass: one in 1831 between settlers and Mexican guards, and another in 1845 known as the Battle of Providencia.
The name Cahuenga derives from Kawé'nga, a Tongva Native American village name that translates to 'at the mountain' in their language.
The pass serves as a primary transportation corridor through U.S. Route 101 and Cahuenga Boulevard, with an elevation of 227 meters above sea level.
During construction work in the area, workers occasionally unearth cannonballs from the 19th-century battles that took place at this location.
