Redlands

Redlands is a toponym used for several places in the United States, Australia, and other regions. The two most prominent references are Redlands, California, a city in San Bernardino County, and Redlands, Queensland, a coastal suburb in the Brisbane metropolitan area. The name often reflects local geography or historical land use, such as red soils or citrus-growing areas.

Redlands, California is located in Southern California's Inland Empire. It developed as an agricultural community in the 19th century, with citrus production playing a major role in its early economy. The city is home to the University of Redlands and a historic downtown district featuring preserved architecture from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Redlands maintains cultural institutions, parks, and educational facilities, and it hosts the Redlands Bowl, a long-running summer concert series.

Redlands, Queensland sits on the eastern coast of Australia as part of the Redland City local government area, commonly referred to as Redlands Coast. It lies southeast of central Brisbane and includes coastal towns and suburbs such as Cleveland and Victoria Point. The area combines residential development with maritime access, parks, and natural areas, reflecting its role as both a commuter hub for Brisbane and a destination for recreation and tourism on Moreton Bay.

Outside of these two principal locations, the name Redlands may appear in other towns, districts, or institutions. In such cases, the specific Redlands is identified by regional context or accompanying place names.
