From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Angelus Oaks is an unincorporated town in San Bernardino County, California, USA, and has a population of 289.[citation needed] It is located north of Mentone, California on State Highway 38. Its "downtown" consists of a general store, a restaurant, gas pumps, a post office (zip code 92305), a real estate office, and a U.S. Forest Service office. Within town are two commerical lodges for overnight visitors. Angelus Oaks has its own volunteer fire company and two private water companies. A historic one-room school house serving grades 1-5 closed permanently in 2004. A few miles past Angelus Oaks, in the Barton Flats area, there are multiple public (USFS) campsites and group camps run by various churches and non-profit organizations (ex: YMCA). The two largest and most active camps are the Boy Scout Camp Tahquitz and Camp Cedar Falls, run by the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Jenks Lake hosts fishing and some swimming activities.
Angelus Oaks was initally called Camp Angelus. In the 1970s, when the postal service decided to combine the two small post offices of Camp Angelus and Seven Oaks, closing the Seven Oaks location, they renamed the remaining office "Angelus Oaks". That name stuck with the town.
