The Santa Margarita de Cortona Asistencia is a former religious outpost established by Spanish colonists on the west coast of North America in the present-day State of California. Founded in 1787 on a site originally selected by Father Presidente Junípero Serra in 1772, the settlement served as an asistencia ("sub-mission") to nearby Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa. Named after an Italian penitent of the Third Order of Saint Francis, the settlement was located at the top of the Cuesta Grade (north of present-day San Luis Obispo). Designated as a California Historical Landmark, the facility also served as a chapel and storehouse.
