Landers, California
Landers is an unincorporated community in the High Desert region of the Mojave Desert, in San Bernardino County, California. Landers' population, as of 2017, is 2,982 people. Its residents are sometimes referred to as "Landroids"—an allusion to the popular UFO culture in the area—and its official slogan is "Beautiful Skies, Miles of Smiles," adopted pursuant to a contest held by the Landers Association in early 2014. It was submitted by Ms. McCall's 3rd and 4th grade class at Landers Elementary School and was unveiled on June 10, 2014. However, for almost half a century, Landers has been known to its residents as "the land of 1000 vistas".
The Landers area was originally settled in the early 20th century by prospectors who came to mine gold in Goat Mountain, starting with Charles Reche in 1914.
From the late 1940s through the 1970s, Landers was a popular gathering point for conventions of UFO enthusiasts, with the primary destinations of interest being the Integratron and nearby Giant Rock.
The area was the epicenter of the June 28, 1992 Landers earthquake, a magnitude 7.4 strike-slip earthquake that caused considerable structural damage to the surrounding area. A three-year-old boy was killed by falling bricks.
The Morongo Basin Historical Society is located in Landers; the original Post Office is now there.
Landers lies in the Homestead Valley of the southeastern Mojave Desert. The nominal elevation of the community is 3,100 feet (940 m) above sea level; its highest point is the top of Goat Mountain that rises 625 feet above the surrounding area.
Landers is 14 miles (23 km) north of Yucca Valley, and borders the community of Flamingo Heights to its south. It's bordered by the city of Joshua Tree to its southeast and Johnson Valley, California is positioned north of Landers. Pioneertown is southwest of the community and California State Route 247, named "Old Woman Springs Road" in the area, passes through Landers from Yucca Valley en route north to Barstow.
The community is bounded on its north and east by the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC), commonly known as 29 Palms.
