Red Bank (also Redbank) is a district in Tehama County, in the U.S. state of California.[1] The district takes its name from Rancho Barranca Colorado (Red Bank in Spanish)[2]and nearby Red Bank Creek.[1] It was also the name of a post office in the district, previously named Eby, and of a school in the district.[3][1] A 1909 guide to Tehama County published by the Red Bluff Chamber of Commerce stated "Being strictly a rural county, there are not many towns of much size...Paskenta, Henleyville, Manton, Lyonsville, Kirkwood, Proberta and Red Bank are smaller centers in different parts of the county."[4]
The school was the Red Bank School, whose location in the district varied over the years, but in 1891 was just east of the road that connects Lowrey Road with Red Bank Road.[1] It finally closed in 1962.[1]
A post office called Redbank was established in 1904, with postmaster Charles S. Beall, and remained in operation until 1918 when it was moved to Red Bluff.[1][5][6] The post office had originally been the Colyear (also Colyer) post office, established 10 miles (16 km) southwest of Red Bluff in July 1889, moved 5 miles (8.0 km) west to Eby (and renamed) in April 1894, and finally moving again to Red Bank in 1904.[7][3] The exact location of Eby post office, named for landowner Jackson Eby, is not clear from historical sources, as maps are either vague or known to be inaccurate.[3] The best source is the Red Bluff Daily News of 1901–1902 which places it in the centre of the school district, 15.5 miles (24.9 km) west of Red Bluff.[3]
