Altadena is a city in California located directly North of Pasadena. The name Altadena is derived from the Spanish word alta meaning “upper” and dena which is short for the word Pasadena. Altadena is approximately 14 miles from the Downtown Los Angeles Civic Center. About 42,000 inhabitants live in this community.
History
In 1880, Frederick Woodbury and his brother John of Iowa, purchased 937 acres of land in California that later developed into the city of Altadena. They contacted a man named Byron O. Clark and asked if they could use the name Altadena for their plot of land known as the Woodbury Subdivision. Byron agreed, and the new Altadena community immediately started to boom! Wealthy millionaires from the East like Andrew McNally and G. G. Green built mansions along a street known as Mariposa near Santa Rosa. The Millionaire’s Row, another name for the wealthy street of mansions, got Altadena underway to its success. Over many years Pasadena wanted to annex Altadena, but by 1956 community campaigns stopped all of Pasadena’s attempts. If the annexation had succeeded, Pasadena would be the 108th largest city in the United States.

Activities & Attractions
Echo Mountain via the Sam Merrill Trail – See Reviews! – A beautiful hike for the outdoor types! It is a tiring hike, but it seems to be all worth it when you get to the top, and see a breathtaking panoramic view of L.A. The hike is an approximate 5.8 mile hike of winding switchbacks. You are bound to see dogs, horses, bikers, and of course other hikers along the trail. Some tips: hike in the morning before the heat caves in and to avoid crowds, sunblock, lots of water, food for a picnic, comfortable shoes, and a camera for the the amazing views! Super King Market – See Reviews! – “Clean, fresh, super good prices” What more can you ask for? From what I hear this supermarket is a favorable place with extremely affordable prices and daily fresh produce.Golf anyone? Here’s some information on Altadena & Eaton Canyon Golf Courses

Set against the beautiful San Gabriel Mountains sits the Zane Grey Estate. It is on the National Register of Historic Places as it was the former home of the famed Western novelist, Zane Grey. The estate is ready to be the future residence-retreat for a lucky family, creative, or writer. The property not only housed Zane Grey, but had the architectural brilliance of Chicago's Myron Hunt and Elmer Grey (also designed the Rose Bowl, Huntington Library, and other California landmarks). Some of the original 1900's architectural elements throughout the estate include massive wood-beamed ceilings, custom cast iron sconces, chandeliers, iron detailed handrails, and even an entry elevator. Take a walk through the private long driveway of this one-acre property, look up at the 15-foot ceilings, immerse yourself in the wine cellar, and embrace the beautiful energy that the Zane Grey Estate emits. "In Altadena, I have found those qualities that make life worth living" - Zane Grey.
