Totpavit, alternative spellings Totabit[1][2] and possibly Totavet,[3] was a Tongva village located in what is now Olive, California.[4] The village was located between the Santa Ana River and Santiago Creek.[5] It was part of a series of villages along the Santa Ana River, including Genga, Pajbenga, and Hutuknga.[5]

Mission records indicate that 11 people from the village were baptized, likely at Mission San Gabriel, from between 1781 and 1803, including 3 men, 7 women, and 1 child.[1] In 1978, it was indicated that the village site was probably buried under alluvium and that the village site had been occupied for thousands of years.[6]

The village's name derived from the word "tota," which was recorded as meaning "rock" in the Tongva language.[3]
