'''Redlands''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|r|ɛ|d|l|ə|n|d|z}} {{respell|RED|ləndz}}) is a city in San Bernardino County, California, United States. As of the 2020 census, the city had a population of 73,168,<ref name=quif/> up from 68,747 at the 2010 census. The city is located in Greater Los Angeles approximately {{convert|70|mi|km|abbr=}} northwest of Indio and {{convert|63|mi|km|abbr=}} east of Los 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 of Mentone, Crafton and Bryn Mawr when it incorporated in 1888.<ref>{{Cite web | title=Controversy surrounded naming of Redlands – Redlands Daily Facts | url=https://www.redlandsdailyfacts.com/2013/02/09/controversy-surrounded-naming-of-redlands/ | access-date=2025-02-18 | website=www.redlandsdailyfacts.com}}</ref> Redlands is home to the Asistencia Mission founded in 1819 by early European settlers.<ref>{{Cite web | title=Redlands - City of San Bernardino | url=https://www.sbcity.org/about/history/streets_and_places/table_of_contents/redlands | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230207105043/https://www.sbcity.org/about/history/streets_and_places/table_of_contents/redlands | access-date=2025-02-18 | archive-date=2023-02-07}}</ref> By the early 20th century, it was a major focal point of California's citrus industry and boasted the largest producer of navel oranges in the world.<ref>{{Cite web| title=A resolution of the city council of the city of redlands approving the city of redlands historic context statment | url=https://www.cityofredlands.org/sites/main/files/file-attachments/reso_7782_with_hcs.pdf | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211023162440/https://www.cityofredlands.org/sites/main/files/file-attachments/reso_7782_with_hcs.pdf | archive-date=2021-10-23}}</ref>

Throughout its past, Redlands has a history of philanthropic residents establishing lasting legacies. The Smiley Library in 1898, the University of Redlands in 1907, the Redlands Bowl in 1924, the Lincoln Memorial Shrine in 1932, the Redlands Bicycle Classic in 1985 and the Garner Holt Foundation's "Garner's Garage" for animatronic STEM education and research established in 2024.<ref>{{Cite web | title=Local legend Garner Holt reflects on career, launching new makerspace for students | url=https://www.communityforwardredlands.com/local-legend-garner-holt-reflects-on-career-launching-new-makerspace-for-students/ | access-date=2025-08-05 | website=www.communityforwardredlands.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web | title=Garner Holt Foundation – Imagination.

Today, Redlands is a strong growing community with a diverse economy, and growing population in the Inland Empire region of Southern California. Redlands is home to Esri, Citrus Plaza, the Redlands Historical Glass Museum and the San Bernardino County Museum.

==History== The area now occupied by Redlands was previously part of the territory of the Morongo and Aguas Calientes tribes of Cahuilla people. Explorations such as those of Pedro Fages and Francisco Garcés sought to extend Catholic influence to the indigenous people and the dominion of the Spanish crown into the area in the 1770s. The Tongva village of Kaawchama, 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.<ref name=":7">{{Cite book |last=Crafts |first=E. P.

===Lugonia and founding=== In 1842, the Lugo family bought the Rancho San Bernardino Mexican land grant and this became the first fixed settler civilization in the area. The current northwest area of Redlands, that astrides the Santa Ana River, was founded as Lugonia.<ref>{{Cite web | title=Before the north side: Sunnyside and Lugonia – Redlands Daily Facts | url=https://www.redlandsdailyfacts.com/2008/06/28/before-the-north-side-sunnyside-and-lugonia/ | access-date=2025-02-18 | website=www.redlandsdailyfacts.com}}</ref> The region was part of Alta California, a Mexican federal province until 1848, when it became part of the United States after the Mexican-American War. By 1850, California as a US state was established. The area received its first Anglo inhabitants in the form of several hundred Mormon pioneers, who purchased the entire ''Rancho San Bernardino'', founded nearby San Bernardino, and established a prosperous farming community watered by the many lakes and streams of the San Bernardino Mountains. The Mormon community left wholesale in 1857, recalled to Utah by Brigham Young during the tensions with the US federal government that ultimately led to the brief Utah War. Benjamin Barton purchased {{convert|1000|acre|km2|0}} from the Latter-Day Saints and planted extensive vineyards and built a winery.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Hinckley |first=Edith B. |title=On the Banks of the Zanja: The Story of Redlands |publisher=The Saunders Press |year=1951 |location=Claremont, California |page=42}}</ref>

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."<ref>Swett, Ira L., "Tractions of the Orange Empire", Interurbans Special Number Forty-One, Interurbans Magazine, Los Angeles, California, August 1967, Chapter 7, ''Redlands The Beautiful'', page 61.</ref> 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. "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".

In the 1880s, the arrival of the Southern Pacific and Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroads, connecting Southern California to San Francisco and Salt Lake triggered a land boom, with speculators such as John W. North flooding the area now known as the Inland 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 with John W. North's nearby settlement of Riverside) for the burgeoning citrus industry. They named their area, just south of Lugonia, "Redlands" after the color of the adobe soil.<ref>{{Cite web |title=About the City of Redlands |url=http://www.redlands.edu/about-redlands/7652.aspx#.U8bwV4XgyHk |access-date=July 16, 2014 |publisher=Redlands.edu}}</ref> So large had the area grown by 1888 that it was decided to incorporate all the local towns into one city.

===Railroads=== {{See also|Streetcars in Redlands}} The Redlands 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 of street railways in Redlands, Terracina and vicinity.<ref>Swett, Ira L., "Tractions of the Orange Empire", Interurbans Special Number Forty-One, Interurbans Magazine, Los Angeles, California, August 1967, Chapter 7, ''The Horse Cars of Redlands'', page 34.</ref> 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.

The Pacific Electric Railway (PE) completed an interurban connection between Los Angeles and San Bernardino in 1914, providing a convenient, speedy connection to the fast-growing city of Los Angeles and its new port at San Pedro, bringing greater prosperity to the town and a new role as a vacation destination for wealthy Angelenos. 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.<ref>Crump, Spencer, "Ride the Big Red Cars – The Pacific Electric Story", Trans-Anglo Books, a division of Interurban Press, Glendale, California, 1983, Seventh Edition – Summer 1988, {{LCCN|7772017}}, {{ISBN|0-87046-047-1}}, page 95.</ref> Pacific Electric's interurban service to Redlands was abandoned on July 20, 1936, with {{convert|2.07|mi|km}} of track into the city lifted,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Pacific Electric San Bernardino Line |url=http://www.erha.org/pensb.htm |website=www.erha.org}}</ref> although PE and Southern Pacific (parent company of PE) provided freight service as far as the Sunkist packing plant at Redlands Heights on San Bernardino Avenue<ref>Swett, Ira L., "Tractions of the Orange Empire", Interurbans Special Number Forty-One, Interurbans Magazine, Los Angeles, California, August 1967, Chapter 7, ''The Redlands Interurban Line'', page 85.</ref> into at least the 1970s.

===Electricity=== "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 in Mill 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 the Southern California Edison Co."<ref name="Golden Jubilee 1938">"Golden Jubilee, Redlands, California: 1888-1938", Citrograph Printing Company, Redlands, California, 1938.</ref> The 250 kilowatt AC Mill Creek No. 1 Hydroelectric Plant was designed by Almirian Decker.<ref>http://www.ieeeghn.org/wiki/index.php/Milestones:Mill_Creek_No._1_Hydroelectric_Plant,_1893 IEEE Milestones, Mill Creek No. 1 Hydroelectric Plant, Retrieved January 4, 2012</ref> Electric arc 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.<ref name="Staff 1943, page 12" />

"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."<ref name="Golden Jubilee 1938" /> 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.<ref name="Staff 1943, page 12" />

"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 the Southern California Edison Co."<ref name="Staff 1943, page 12" />

===Citrus=== [[File:Redlands, California. Packing oranges at a cooperative packing plant..jpg|thumb|upright|Women packing oranges at the Sunkist packing plant in Redlands, 1943]]

In the spring of 1882, Mr. E. J. Waite of Wisconsin planted the first orange grove in the city. For almost 75 years, the city was the center of the largest navel orange-producing region in the world.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Historic Citrus Preservation |url=http://www.cityofredlands.org/qol/citrus |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150315004622/http://cityofredlands.org/qol/citrus |archive-date=March 15, 2015 |access-date=March 31, 2015 |publisher=City of Redlands}}</ref> By the late 1930s, Redlands was a fruit-packing center surrounded by more than {{convert|15000|acre|km2}} of citrus groves. The city produced more than 4,200 railcars of navel oranges and 1,300 cars of Valencia oranges during the 1937–38 growing season.<ref>Workers of the Writers' Program (1941). ''Los Angeles: A Guide to the City and its Environs.'' Hastings House Press.</ref> During the 1930s and 1940s, labor activists campaigned in the canneries and packing houses for union 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.<ref>Vicki L. Ruiz. ''Cannery Women, Cannery Lives.'' University of New Mexico Press, 1987, pp. 81–83.</ref>

The citrus industry declined in the area as more agricultural areas were replaced by subdivisions, 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.<ref>https://www.redlandscommunitynews.com/news/community/acquired-by-school-district-last-packing-house-to-be-repurposed/article_a61d9ed2-c12d-11ee-be1d-cf6e1413bdf3.html</ref>

===Community=== At the turn of the 20th century, Redlands was the "Palm Springs" of that era, drawing tourists from around the world for the appreciation of winter gardens, rare botanical plantings, and the fragrance of orange blossom season, as well as healthful water from local mountains and springs.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Beall |first=John |date=March 22, 2026 |title=Orange Blossom Perfume in Southern California: A Fragrance of the Gilded Age |url=https://oldcaliforniabotanicals.com/blogs/news/orange-blossom-perfume-in-southern-california-a-fragrance-of-the-gilded-age?_pos=5&_sid=91744da6b&_ss=r |website=Old California Botanicals}}</ref> Roses and other trophy plant specimens were 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 filifera var. 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 and Mentone, across the Santa Ana River, and back into San Bernardino via East Highlands, Highlands and Patton, 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 the San Timoteo Canyon to Crafton was abandoned after the downtown packing house business died. A thru-truss bridge over the ''Zanja'' (locally pronounced "san-kee") exists today, abandoned in place. Burlington Northern Santa Fe, result of the AT&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. After Metrolink regional commuter rail became involved and funds secured, reconstruction began in 2019 and named Arrow. 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 the University of Redlands. 5 new stations with mostly local service to and from the San Bernardino Transit Center and one daily ride to Los Angeles Union Station.

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 at Norton Air Force Base, as well as the Lockheed Propulsion Company plant in Mentone. 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 economic recession 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.<ref>Norton Air Force Base</ref>{{Circular reference|date=June 2019}} Jack Dangermond established Esri in 1969, a local software company.

A modern car centric shopping center was built in 2004 named Citrus Plaza. The plaza was built in unincorporated land surrounded by the city of Redlands, in land locally known as the "Donut Hole". The city invested in infrastructure for the donut hole for many years prior to the county approving the plaza with plans to annex the large block. The county went ahead and approved the plaza without the city of Redlands approval. The plaza remains a popular shopping destination.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.sbsun.com/2014/04/20/construction-starts-in-controversial-donut-hole-near-redlands/|title=Construction starts in controversial donut hole near Redlands}}</ref>

Prior to European colonization, local tongva Serrano people practiced spirituality for millennia, web of life customs. The first known monotheistic religious establishment in Redlands, was of the Christian faith. The catholic San Bernardino de Sena Estancia by Francisco Dumetz was established in 1819 on the feast day of Saint Bernardine. Part of an outpost of the Mission San Gabriel Arcángel located 56 miles from Los Angeles, CA., a days trip walking. This outpost, was used to convert local native Tongva, Serrano, and Cahuilla 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 to José del Carmen Lugo who made it his home in 1842. The Catholic presence remains with the Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church and the Discalced Carmelite Friars retreat compound established in 1952. Known as The Carmelo Retreat House.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.elcarmelo.org/history/|title=History | El Carmelo Retreat House}}</ref>
