public health and hospitals, particularly the Orange County General Hospital; publicity and tourism; schools and school districts;

Biography
Willis H. Warner was a prominent Orange County government official who served on the Orange County Board of Supervisors from
1939 to 1963 and was its chairman for almost 15 years. He is known for his extensive work on flood control and sanitation
issues.
Warner was born in Illinois in 1889. His father, Charles W. Warner, was a Burlington Railroad ticket agent and telegraph operator,
and later worked as a carpenter and became a judge for the city of Huntington Beach. The family moved to Southern California
when Willis was five years old and he attended elementary school at Garden Grove, Newhope, and Bolsa. In 1905 his father built
the two-story house at 403 Tenth Street in which Willis would live for the rest of his life. He was in the first graduating
class of Huntington Beach High School, where he later served as chairman of the school's board of trustees. He attended the
University of Southern California to study municipal sanitation and produced a thesis on a sewer system and treatment plant
for Huntington Beach. He received a degree in civil engineering from USC in 1911 and married Ethel M. Crane the same year.
The Warners owned a variety of mineral and oil drilling rights, and properties throughout Southern California. They had two
children, Willis C. Warner and Alice C. Warner.
Warner worked as a lumber yard manager for the San Pedro Lumber Company, and in 1925 purchased his hardware store, the Warner
Hardware Store, which he operated in Huntington Beach until 1953. He was also extremely active in a number of fraternal and
community organizations, and served as director of the California Gun Club.
In the public sector, Warner was active throughout his life in local government, non-governmental organizations, and local
schools. He served for many years beginning in 1915 as secretary of the Westminster Drainage District, a public corporation
contracted to build drainage ditches at a time when Orange County was particularly susceptible to flooding during rainy seasons.
He also served as the first chairman of the newly formed Orange County Water District in 1933, was elected to the Huntington
Beach City Council in 1934, and was elected mayor in 1936.
In 1938 was elected Supervisor of Orange County District No. 2 after defeating John Mitchell of Garden Grove and two other
candidates, and was sworn in on January 2 the following year. He served as Chairman of the Board of Supervisors for 17 years,
from 1940 to 1947 and from 1949 to 1959. As Supervisor of District No. 2 he ran unopposed in every election from 1938 until
1958.
During his career on the Board of Supervisors, the County's population grew from less than 130,000 to over 750,000, and County
employees increased in number from 700 to 3,000. For a quarter of a century Warner was intimately involved in all of the problems
faced by the expanding County, including zoning, subdivisions, building permits, road and highway construction, airport expansion,
and many others. He specialized in water-related issues such as flood control and sanitation, and assisted in the formation
of a county-wide sanitation system in the late 1940s and early 1950s that could accommodate the growth in Orange County population.
Among the rare controversies of his career, Warner and the Board of Supervisors waged a political battle in the late 1950s
with County Counsel Joel Ogle over tidelands drilling rights. Ogle was tried for corruption and acquitted, after which he
accused Warner of collusion with oil companies.
He was a member of the State Supervisors Association and served in various additional offices during this time, including
Chairman and Director of the Orange County Water District, and Director and Chairman of the Shoreline Planning Association.
Warner was widely known as "Mr. Orange County" and received the first-ever honor of "Man of the Year" from the Orange County
Press Club in 1953. After suffering several years from coronary disease, he died on October 28 1963, only nine months after
completing his final term in office on January 6.

Collection Scope and Content Summary
This collection documents the activities of Willis H. Warner, who was a member of the Orange County Board of Supervisors for
24 years, including the activities of the Board of Supervisors and numerous Orange County governmental units from the 1930s
through the 1960s. The collection also contains personal materials, including the records of Warner's business, the Warner
Hardware Store (Huntington Beach, California), and materials documenting his prolific career in the public sector working
for the Westminster Drainage District, the Beach Protective Association of Huntington Beach, and other Orange County public
institutions and political organizations. The bulk of the materials in this collection document a wide-range of political,
economic, and social issues affecting Orange County, reflected in the activities of the various County agencies and departments.
These documents were maintained by Warner in an expansive topical file. Some of the significant topics represented in these
files are airport development; environmental issues such as air and water pollution, beach erosion, and shoreline development
(including reports by consulting engineer R.L. Patterson); civil defense; county finances; employment; fire programs; land
use and planning; freeway and highway development; county buildings; correctional facilities; parks and recreation; oil drilling;
public health and hospitals, particularly the Orange County General Hospital; publicity and tourism; schools and school districts;
and welfare and public works programs. The largest group of these files document the activities of the Flood Control, Sanitation,
and Water Districts, which were of great interest to Warner.
Early public service career files document his activities prior to joining the Board of Supervisors in 1938 in addition to
his non-Board of Supervisors work in the public sector. In particular, files document the financial and legal activities of
the Westminster Drainage District, accumulated while he was working as its secretary; his active participation in the commercial
development of Huntington Beach and nearby communities; his work on the board of trustees for Huntington Beach Union High
School; and his involvement with the Beach Protective Association of Huntington Beach, which sought to prevent oil drilling
in the area. The collection also contains financial and legal records including the operational records of his business, the
Warner Hardware Store, and various personal and family materials.
Materials are largely textual, comprising correspondence, memoranda, minutes and agendas, financial and legal material, clippings,
publications, blueprints, maps, and related printed matter. Among other formats scattered throughout the collection are photographs,
a small number of negatives, artifacts such as plaques, ephemera, and campaign paraphernalia.

Scope and Content Note
This series includes Warner's personal files, including correspondence, biographical and educational files, awards, diaries,
financial materials, and family photographs. The bulk of the files in this series contain material documenting Warner's involvement
in a wide variety of Orange County associations, clubs, and organizations, particularly the Businessmen's Association of Santa
Ana, California Gun Club, and First Methodist Church of Huntington Beach. Other files contain personal finance material, and
estate and personal records of deceased relatives for whom Warner was legal executor. This includes Ethel M. Warner's diaries
from 1934 through 1951, and files maintained by Willis' and Ethel's parents.
Correspondence in this series is largely personal, consisting of letters sent to and from friends, associates, or family members.
Some family letters pre-date Warner's birth. Biographical and educational files contain items such as Warner's engineering
lab notebook from the University of Southern California. A group of 30 diaries provide extensive documentation of Warner's
personal and professional activities from 1930 through 1962, a year before his death. Included with these diaries are some
undated recipe books, possibly college-related but more likely date from the summers of 1910 and 1911 when Warner operated
a tent city and cafeteria on Methodist camp grounds in Huntington Beach. Financial files contain records of personal income
statements and tax records, property deeds and tax records, oil and gas leases and drilling royalty statements.
Photographs in this series are primarily of Warner's family members. A small group of related photographs contain images of
Huntington Beach and a tent city, possibly the one operated by Warner in his 20s. Also of interest is a small group of ephemera
produced by businesses throughout Orange County from the 1920s and 1960s and collected by Warner, including business cards,
advertisements, and calendars.

Series 3.
Public service career files,
1915-1963.
Physical Description:
5.3. linear ft.
Scope and Content Note
This series includes files from Warner's early public service career prior to his election to the Board of Supervisors in
1938, in addition to files accumulated by Warner while serving in the public sector during his tenure on the Board of Supervisors.
Some files document his political activity as a member of the Huntington Beach City Council, Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce,
and Garden Grove Chamber of Commerce. Although Warner served as councilman and later mayor of Huntington Beach during the
1930s, relatively little material from the collection relates to this aspect of his career.
Some material also relates to Warner's active participation in the commercial development of Huntington Beach and nearby communities,
such as records from various chambers of commerce and the Business Men's Association of Santa Ana. A large group of files
document Warner's involvement with the Beach Protective Association of Huntington Beach, which actively sought to prevent
extensive oil drilling in the area. Other records document Warner's involvement with educational institutions, including his
tenure on the board of trustees for Huntington Beach Union High School and his membership in the Peek Family Scholarship Advisory
Board.
The bulk of this series comprises files documenting the activities of the Westminster Drainage District, a public corporation
contracted to build drainage ditches at a time when Orange County was particularly susceptible to flooding during rainy seasons,
of which Warner was secretary. These files contain extensive records of meetings of the Board of Directors, financial transactions,
and some planning projects. Files include correspondence; financial and legal materials such as account books, demands, deeds,
and financial statements; election notices and records; and minutes.
Arrangement
This series is arranged by organization with which Warner was affiliated. Since many of his activities stemming from this
period were continued throughout his life, some material in this series date from later than 1938. For materials relating
to Warner's activities on the Board of Supervisors, see Series 4.
