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
