Redlands (/ˈrɛdləndz/RED-ləndz) is a city inSan Bernardino County, California, United States. As of the2020 census, the city had a population of 73,168,[7] up from 68,747 at the2010 census. The city is located approximately 45 miles (72 km) northwest ofPalm Springs and 63 miles (101 km) east ofLos Angeles.
Redlands was founded in 1881 on land that encompassed native Serrano, Morongo and Cahuilla tribes. Redlands absorbed the communities of Terracina, Idlewild, Plaza, Chicago Colony, Victoria, Barton, Gladysta, and Lugonia along with portions ofMentone,Crafton andBryn Mawr when it incorporated in 1888.[10] Redlands is home to theAsistencia Mission founded in 1819 by early European settlers.[11] By the early 20th century, it was a major focal point of California'scitrus industry and boasted the largest producer ofnavel oranges in the world.[12]
Throughout its past, Redlands has a history of philanthropic residents establishing lasting legacies. TheSmiley Library in 1898, theUniversity of Redlands in 1907, theRedlands Bowl in 1924, theLincoln Memorial Shrine in 1932, theRedlands Bicycle Classic in 1985 and theGarner Holt Foundation's "Garner's Garage" for animatronic STEM education and research established in 2024.[13][14][15]
Today, Redlands is a strong growing community with a diverse economy, and growing population in theInland Empire region of southern California. Redlands is home toEsri,Citrus Plaza, the RedlandsHistorical Glass Museum and theSan Bernardino County Museum.
The area now occupied by Redlands was previously part of the territory of theMorongo andAguas Calientes tribes ofCahuilla people. Explorations such as those ofPedro Fages andFrancisco Garcés sought to extend Catholic influence to the indigenous people and the dominion of theSpanish crown into the area in the 1770s. TheTongva village ofKaawchama, located just to the west of present-day Redlands, was visited by Fr.Francisco Dumetz in 1810, and was the reason the site was chosen for a mission outpost.[16][17] Dumetz reached the village on May 20, thefeast day ofSaint Bernardino of Siena, and thus named the region theSan Bernardino Valley.[18] The Franciscan friars fromMission San Gabriel established theSan Bernardino Asistencia in 1819 and embarked on the usual program of training the native tribes to raise crops and encouraging permanent settlements. By 1820, a ditch, known as azanja, was dug by conscripted native labor for the friars from Mill Creek to the Asistencia.[19][20] In 1822, word of the Mexican triumph in theWar of Independence reached the inland area, and lands previously claimed by Spain passed to the custody of the newly establishedMexican government.[21]
In 1842, theLugo family bought theRancho San BernardinoMexican land grant and this became the first fixed settler civilization in the area. The current northwest area of Redlands, that astrides theSanta Ana River, was founded as Lugonia.[22] The region was part ofAlta California, a Mexican federal province until 1848, when it became part of the United States after theMexican-American War. By 1850, California as a US state was established. The area received its firstAnglo inhabitants in the form of several hundredMormon pioneers, who purchased the entireRancho San Bernardino, founded nearbySan Bernardino, and established a prosperous farming community watered by the many lakes and streams of theSan Bernardino Mountains. The Mormon community left wholesale in 1857, recalled toUtah byBrigham Young during the tensions with the US federal government that ultimately led to the briefUtah War.Benjamin Barton purchased 1,000 acres (4 km2) from theLatter-Day Saints and planted extensivevineyards and built awinery.[23]
"The first settler on the site of the present Redlands is recorded to have erected a hut at the corner of what is now Cajon St. and Cypress Ave.; he was a sheep herder, and the year, 1865," reported Ira L. Swett in "Tractions of the Orange Empire". Lugonia attracted settlers including, Barry Roberts in 1869, followed a year later by the Craw and Glover families. "The first school teacher in Lugonia, George W. Beattie, arrived in 1874—shortly followed by the town's first negro settler, Israel Beal."[24]Charles Nordhoff's 1873 book, "California: for Health, Pleasure, and Residence" was published. Nordhoff noted the regions warm winters and abundance of land. It attracted many people to Lugonia suffering from tuberculosis, among other ailments seeking health benefits in a dry climate, and available lands for sale.
In the 1880s, the arrival of theSouthern Pacific andAtchison, Topeka and Santa FeRailroads, connectingSouthern California toSan Francisco andSalt Lake triggered a land boom, with speculators such asJohn W. North flooding the area now known as theInland Empire. The Redlands Colony was soon established by Frank E. Brown, a civil engineer, and E. G. Judson, a New York stock broker, to provide a center (along withJohn W. North's nearby settlement ofRiverside) for the burgeoning citrus industry. They named their area, just south of Lugonia, "Redlands" after the color of the adobe soil.[25] So large had the area grown by 1888 that it was decided to incorporate all the local towns into one city. "A red-letter day in the Annals of Redlands", pronounced Scipio Craig, editor ofThe Citrograph newspaper, of the November 26 incorporation.[26][27] The original townships of Lugonia, Bryn Mawr, Barton, Terracina, Victoria, Gladysta, parts of Mentone, and parts of Crafton were mended into one incorporated city. The newspaper was first published in July 1887 by The Citrograph Printing Company, which remains in 2025 as both Redlands' oldest business and the longest-operating printing company in California.[28] E. G. Judson served as the first mayor of Redlands.[29]
TheRedlands Street Railway Company was incorporated on March 22, 1888, acquiring on June 5 a franchise from the San Bernardino County Supervisors dating to December 1887, conveying the right to construct, operate and maintain for a term of 50 years a line ofstreet railways in Redlands, Terracina and vicinity.[30] The initial operations began in June 1889 with a single-track line operating two-mule-team cars, the first street railway company of several to provide service to the community. Electrification and new rails replaced mules in 1899,[31] with electrical operation beginning in December.[32] Most Redlands street railways would pass to the San Bernardino Valley Traction Company in a consolidation on June 3, 1903,[33] and thence to thePacific Electric in the "Great Merger" of Huntington properties under new ownership by theSouthern Pacific Transportation Company on February 8, 1911.[34]Henry E. Huntington, nephew of lateSouthern Pacific presidentCollis P. Huntington, had gained control of the four-mile-long (6.4 km) streetcar line of theRedlands Central Railway Company in 1908.[35]
ThePacific Electric Railway (PE) completed aninterurban connection between Los Angeles andSan Bernardino in 1914, providing a convenient, speedy connection to the fast-growing city of Los Angeles and its new port atSan Pedro, bringing greater prosperity to the town and a new role as a vacation destination for wealthyAngelenos. Redlands was the eastern terminus of the "Big Red Car" system. At its peak, PE operated five local routes in Redlands, with streetcars running to Smiley Heights and on Orange, Olive, and Citrus Avenues.[36] Pacific Electric's interurban service to Redlands was abandoned on July 20, 1936, with 2.07 miles (3.33 km) of track into the city lifted,[37] although PE andSouthern Pacific (parent company of PE) provided freight service as far as theSunkist packing plant at Redlands Heights on San Bernardino Avenue[38] into at least the 1970s. The Smiley Heights line was abandoned at this time, as well. Bus service operated by the Motor Transit Company, a subsidiary of Pacific Electric, began on July 20.[39] This also affected mail delivery in Redlands as "Approximately 80 percent of our mail from all directions arrives on the 5 a.m. electric car," explained Postmaster James B. Stone. "This dispatch is sorted and morning deliveries started by 8:30 a.m. on most routes. The post office department has temporarily arranged for this mail to be brought in by theSanta Fe train at 6:05 a.m. As this arrival is an hour later, our service will be one hour later."[40] The abandoned Pacific Electric La Quintatrestle over theSanta Ana River stood immediately south ofSan Bernardino International Airport into the 2010s but was removed when anAmazon facility was built adjacent to the site.
"History was made in the electrical industry July 27, 1892, when a franchise was granted to the Electric Light & Power Co., which was incorporated Oct. 6 and began building a powerhouse inMill Creek canyon. Thus the groundwork was laid for the world's first(three)-phase transmission line, which brought electricity to Redlands and later became a unit in theSouthern California Edison Co."[41] The 250 kilowattAC Mill Creek No. 1 Hydroelectric Plant was designed by Almirian Decker.[42] Electricarc lamps were first illuminated over Redlands streets on August 5, 1893. George B. Ellis, one of seven men who spearheaded the undertaking, is largely credited with originating the plan.[32]
"The first line was extended from the Mill Creek powerhouse to East Citrus avenue, thence to Redlands and to Mr. Ellis' Terracina hotel. By September the company was advertising power for sale to the public. The firm boasted of ability to supply current enough for 55 arc lamps, and 1,500 homes."[41] Engineer O. H. Ensign was "largely responsible for the success of the undertaking." When gas lighting became available in Redlands in 1900, many homes already had electricity.[32]
"The same group of men in 1894 organized the Southern California Power Co. Later it was merged with the Edison Electric Co., of Los Angeles, a forerunner of theSouthern California Edison Co."[32]
In the spring of 1882, Mr. E. J. Waite ofWisconsin planted the first orange grove in the city. For almost 75 years, the city was the center of the largestnavel orange-producing region in the world.[43] By the late 1930s, Redlands was a fruit-packing center surrounded by more than 15,000 acres (61 km2) of citrus groves. The city produced more than 4,200 railcars of navel oranges and 1,300 cars ofValencia oranges during the 1937–38 growing season.[44] During the 1930s and 1940s, labor activists campaigned in thecanneries and packing houses forunion representation and higher wages. The United Cannery, Agricultural, Packing, and Allied Workers of America (UCAPAWA) won 13 National Labor Relations Board representation elections in the Riverside-Redlands area in 1943. In 1945, the first annual Orange Queen Ball at the Redlands City Auditorium was held to raise funds for the union.[45]
The citrus industry declined in the area as more agricultural areas were replaced bysubdivisions, and all three citrus packing houses (two in downtown and one on San Bernardino Avenue) had closed by the end of the 20th century. The last packing house, Redlands Foothill Grove, closed in 2023.[46]
At the turn of the 20th century, Redlands was the "Palm Springs" of the next century, with roses being planted along many city thoroughfares. Some of these plantings would survive as wild thickets into the 1970s, especially adjacent to orange groves where property management was lax.Washingtonia palms (Washingtonia robusta) were planted along many main avenues. So beautifully kept was the area, with the dramatic mountain backdrops, that for several years the Santa Fe Railroad operated excursion trains along the loop that passed through the orange groves of Redlands andMentone, across theSanta Ana River, and back intoSan Bernardino via East Highlands, Highlands andPatton, and advertised as the "Kite Route" due to its multi-sided alignment. The trestle over "the Wash" north of Mentone was carried away during a flood in March 1938 and never replaced, the line being truncated there. The Southern Pacific branch line from theSan Timoteo Canyon toCrafton was abandoned after the downtown packing house business died. A thru-truss bridge over theZanja (locally pronounced "san-kee") exists today, abandoned in place.Burlington Northern Santa Fe, result of theAT&SF-Burlington Northern merger, applied to abandon its San Bernardino-connected branch line east of downtown Redlands in 2007, the last shippers at Crafton and Mentone having ceased operations. A move was made by transit activists beginning in the 1990s to have this branch revitalized as part of the Southern California transit districts, but it came to nothing for many years. AfterMetrolink regional commuter rail became involved and funds secured, reconstruction began in 2019 and namedArrow. It was completed in 2022, a Metrolink branch from San Bernardino to end-of-track on the eastern side of town adjacent to the campus of theUniversity of Redlands. 5 new stations with mostly local service to and from theSan Bernardino Transit Center and one daily ride to Los AngelesUnion Station.
The city has been visited by threeU.S. Presidents:William McKinley was the first in 1901, followed byTheodore Roosevelt in 1903 andWilliam Howard Taft in 1909. Local landmarks include theA.K. Smiley Public Library, aMoorish-style library built in 1898, and theRedlands Bowl, built in 1930 and home of the oldest continuously free outdoor concert series in the United States. Located behind the Smiley Library is the Lincoln Shrine,[47] the only memorial honoring the "Great Emancipator", the sixteenth presidentAbraham Lincoln, west of theMississippi River. Famous homes include "America's Favorite Victorian", theMorey Mansion,[48] on Terracina Boulevard, and theKimberly Crest House and Gardens, a home museum featured on thePBS series "America's Castles". Named after the family that purchased the house, the owners ofKimberly-Clark (makers of paper goods andKleenex), it is a beautiful mansion set high on a hill overlooking the whole valley. Redlands is still regarded as the "Jewel of the Inland Empire".[49]
In the mid-late 20th Century, Redlands was home to various light manufacturing firms, and became a bedroom community for the military personnel and contractor employees of the aerospace industry that supported missions atNorton Air Force Base, as well as theLockheed Propulsion Company plant inMentone. In 1989, Norton Air Force Base was placed on the Department of Defense closure list. Norton Air Force Base closed in 1994–1995 and the population dropped in the area, with a mild local economicrecession occurring due to the closure in the area. The former Air Force Base is now the home of the San Bernardino International Airport and a variety of other business concerns also utilize the space.[50][circular reference]Jack Dangermond establishedEsri in 1969, a local software company. By the year 2000, he was the largest employer in Redlands.[51]
According to theUnited States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 36.3 square miles (94 km2). 36.0 square miles (93 km2) of it is land and 0.3 square miles (0.78 km2) of it (0.72%) is water.[5]
The climate in this area is described by theKöppen Climate Classification System as "dry-summer subtropical" often referred to as "Mediterranean" and abbreviated asCsa.[52]

Prior to European colonization, localtongvaSerrano people practiced spirituality for millennia,web of life customs. The first known monotheistic religious establishment in Redlands, was of theChristian faith. ThecatholicSan Bernardino de Sena Estancia byFrancisco Dumetz was established in 1819 on the feast day ofSaint Bernardine. Part of an outpost of theMission San Gabriel Arcángel located 56 miles from Los Angeles, CA., a days trip walking. This outpost, was used to convert local nativeTongva,Serrano, andCahuilla Native Americans to christianity. With Spanish colonization and the subsequent Mexican era, San Bernardino Valley was a sparsely populated land grant rancho, considering it unsuitable for an actual mission. The estancia was later sold toJosé del Carmen Lugo who made it his home in 1842. The Catholic presence remains with theHoly Name of Jesus Catholic Church and theDiscalced Carmelite Friars retreat compound established in 1952. Known as The Carmelo Retreat House.[61]
Jose del Carmen later sold his land grant of the San Bernardino Valley, including the estancia to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints membersAmasa Lyman andCharles C. Rich, establishing a Mormon colony in nearby San Bernardino, CA.[62][63] Mormon presence remains in Redlands after the property was sold to Dr.Ben Barton in the late 1850s. TheRedlands California Temple is the 116th operating temple ofthe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and one of fourLDS temples in Southern California.
Other variety of religions have a presence in Redlands, including a number of otherChristian faiths, alsoJudaism, andIslam. There is a Redlands Area Interfaith Council.[64] Redlands has a largeSeventh-day Adventist population along with the neighboring town ofLoma Linda.
Judaism Congregation Emanu El, formerly located in nearby San Bernardino, in 2013 dedicated its new building on Ford Street in Redlands. The Congregation claims to trace its history back to the 1850s.[65]
