| | Preserve America Community: Redlands, California |
 | | Preserve America is a White House initiative in cooperation with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation; the U.S. Departments of Defense, Interior, Agriculture, Commerce, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, and Education; the National Endowment for the Humanities; the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities; and the President's Council on Environmental Quality. |
 | | Redlands (population 63,591) was founded in 1881 when Frank E. Brown and E. Judson planned and platted the community, naming it for the color of its soil. |
 | | Redlands became a winter home for many well-to-do Midwesterners and Easterners, and many of their elaborate Victorian houses remain today in eight locally designated historic districts. |
