Warner Springs is a small unincorporated community in northern San Diego County, California.
The town has a post office and the ZIP code is 92086. It is near the Palomar Observatory and Warner Springs Ranch.
Warner Springs is also a popular area for gliding, due to the topography of the Peninsular Ranges in the area.
The Cupeño people were long time indigenous inhabitants of the Warner Springs area. The Cupeño/Cahuilla Agua Caliente rancheria village was located at the hot springs (Spanish: agua caliente) located here.
The hot springs were "rediscovered" by Spanish explorers of upper Las Californias province in 1795.
The Santa Ysabel Asistencia (satellite mission) was founded c. 8 miles (13 km) to the south of the Agua Caliente springs in 1818 by Spanish missionaries originating from Mission San Diego de Alcalá.
St Francis Mission chapel was erected near the settlement c. 1830. Its walls use adobe mud bricks, white-washed over and a roof incorporating locally made red tiles. A stone bell tower is placed next to the southern wall of the church.
Juan Jose Warner received the 26,689-acre (108.01 km2) Rancho San Jose del Valle Mexican land grant in 1844, and renamed the area Warner Springs. Also in 1844, the asistencia's lands on the south became part of the Rancho Santa Ysabel Mexican land grant. In 1851 the Cupeño/Cahuilla "Garra_Revolt" raid on Warner's Ranch occurred, a part of the Yuma War against immigrant intrusions.
