Wáꞌpeat

Wáꞌpeat (Hispanicized: Guapiabit) was a major village populated by the Serrano or Vanyume, closest situated to what is now Hesperia and Crestline, and within the vicinity of Cajon Pass and Silverwood Lake, California. The village name was derived from waꞌat, or the Serrano word for juniper, which grew abundantly in the area. Wáꞌpeat had deep ties with other villages along the Mojave River and the southern Antelope Valley and was the site of community gatherings.

The village site was registered by the Office of Historic Preservation in California in 1975. In 2020, it was listed in the National Register of Historic Places as the Guapiabit–Serrano Homeland Archaeological District.
