The Barona Reservation (32°57′19″N 116°50′39″W / 32.95528°N 116.84417°W) is a federal Indian reservation located in San Diego County, California, near Lakeside[1] and the Cleveland National Forest. It takes its name from the Mexican land grant Cañada de San Vicente y Mesa del Padre Barona, named in turn after Padre José Barona, a friar at Mission San Diego de Alcalá from 1798 until he transferred to Mission San Juan Capistrano in 1811.[6] Founded in 1932, the reservation covers 5,181 acres (20.97 km2). Much of the highland valley has good farmland, the reservation hosts several ranches, a chapel, tribal offices, community center, and ball park, created by the tribe.[3] In 1973, 125 of the 156 enrolled members lived on the reservation.[2] The nearest community is San Diego Country Estates, which adjoins the reservation's northeast side.
