Landers is an unincorporated community in the High Desert region of the Mojave Desert, in San Bernardino County, California.[3] Landers' population, as of 2017, is 2,982 people.[4] 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.[5] However, for almost half a century, Landers has been known to its residents as "the land of 1000 vistas".
