Redland, long known also as the Redlands[4][5][6] or the Redland,[7] is a historic unincorporated community and agricultural area in Miami-Dade County, Florida, located about 20 miles (32 km) southwest of downtown Miami and just northwest of Homestead, Florida. It is unique in that it constitutes a large farming belt directly adjoining what is now the seventh most populous major metropolitan area in the United States.[8] Named for the pockets of red clay that cover a layer of oolitic limestone,[9] Redland produces a variety of tropical fruits, many of which do not grow elsewhere in the continental United States.[10] The area also contains a large concentration of ornamental nurseries.[9] The landscape is dotted with u-pick'em fields, coral rock (oolite) walls, and the original clapboard homes of early settlers and other historic early twentieth century structures.
