History of Redan

The area that would become Redan was first settled in the early 1800s, when white families moved into the region to farm the land. It was originally known as Readyville or Reddinville. The name "Redan" likely comes from a type of fortification known as a redan used during warfare. After the Civil War, freed slaves began moving into the area and established homes and churches. The Seaboard Air Line railway was constructed near Redan in the 1870s, fostering growth in the community. Redan was home to a schoolhouse for African American children by 1877. The area continued to grow steadily over the next hundred years into the community it is today.
