Redlands, California, is a small city of 64,000 residents that sits nestled at the foot of Southern California’s highest mountains, halfway between Los Angeles and Palm Springs.
Founded in 1881 and incorporated in 1888, Redlands is a quintessential “big town” with a “small town” feel. For much of its history, it was the “Washington Navel Orange Growing Capital of the World,” with the citrus industry as the main focus of its economy. Through the years the economy may have changed, but that special feeling of community in a small town hasn’t.
