Living in Redan
Redan is a small Southland locality carrying the name of the military earthwork fortification, one of the place names from the Crimean War era that New Zealand applied to various features and localities during the 1850s and 1860s when the conflict was current news and naming rights were abundant. The redans of the Crimean War's sieges contributed several place names to New Zealand's geography, and Southland's Redan records the moment when a settler or surveyor decided the local topography resembled a military fortification enough to justify the reference.
The farming around Redan is Southland's pastoral plains character: dairy and sheep on the flat productive country that the district supports, managed by the farming families who have run the Southland plain's operations across multiple generations. The locality sits in the working farming country of the Southland district, with the service centres providing the facilities that the locality requires.
The permanent population is the farming families on the surrounding properties, with the nearest Southland district centres providing the schools and services that the locality's families depend on.
Redan is Southland farming country with a military vocabulary, on land that has never required fortification and has been more productively employed in the dairy industry.
