History & History Related Items Redlands history: Redlands was named for the red color of the earth here. It seems that in 1880, a Riverside newspaper editor was riding along the slopes of the eastern San Bernardino Valley with the town co-founder, E.G. Judson. The editor made the suggestion that the town be named for the red soil. For many years it was known for its naval orange industry. The area's economy has expanded greatly in recent years to include many more industries than agriculture. The other founder was Frank E. Brown who met Judson here in the late 1870's. They laid out the city and irrigation and introduced the Washington naval orange. It wasn't long until Redlands was known for its delicious naval oranges and was nicknamed the "Naval Orange Capital of the World." In 1889, Alfred and Albert Smiley came to town from New York. Their presence in Redlands made a great impact on the city. They were known for their philanthropy, donating land for a park and a public library in 1889. The Clarance G. White Family and the Robert Watchorn Family also made large donations to the city Redlands was the first city in the country to have a center divider (median)in a roadway.
