Why is the town called Red Bluff? It's as flat as a pancake with no obvious bluff and I'm not sure it's particularly red, either. 155.53.72.92 (talk) 17:38, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are bluffs along the Sacramento River near the city. Much of the soil in the area is reddish due to iron oxides. Jswhitten (talk) 18:57, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've found no evidence that Tommy Thayer of KISS has any connection with Red Bluff. DelDav (talk) 03:50, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, sorry to spoil the fun of Drew's friends, but I'm afraid none of the statements added to this page are true or even relevant. ;) Zgambino (talk) 03:03, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Town Name

The city of Red Bluff went through several names, including "Frogtown" because of the large numbers of croaking frogs where people disembarked from the riverboats. Other names were Reedsburgh, Cavertsburgh, Reedsville, Cavertsville, Bulltown and Red Cliff. The river became un-navigable just north of Reeds Creek in Red Bluff so Red Bluff became the jumping off point. The name was originally "Red Bluffs" because the meandering river had cut away a hill exposing the bluffs but this was later shortened and by 1856 it had become simply "Red Bluff". 66.122.183.244 (talk) 21:15, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
