Self Storage – Redlands

Redlands is a Friendly Home for Families and Businesses

Known for rosebush-lined streets and breathtaking views of the San Bernardino mountains, Redlands is one of the most popular cities in southern California’s Inland Empire.

In the late 19^th century, the Southern Pacific, Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroads fueled Redlands’ exponential growth. Citrus agriculture increased the area’s popularity, attracting businesses and families from across the nation with mild weather and a booming economy. At one point, the city exported the most navel oranges in the world. You can find many historical structures in Redlands, including the Redlands Central Railway Company Car Barn and the Barton School House. Built in 1877, the Barton School House is the oldest structure in Redlands.

Today, the city is revered for its schools, including University of Redlands and the highly rated Redlands Unified School District. First established in 1909, University of Redlands offers undergraduate liberal arts degrees as well as several graduate programs.

Esri, a global supplier of geographic information system software, is the top employer in Redlands. Other prominent employers include the Redlands Community Hospital and the Loma Linda University Behavioral Medical Center. Most Redlands residents work in office and administrative support, educational instruction and sales.
