About Pasadena
Pasadena was once home to a Native American tribe known as the Hahamogna. The Spaniards took control of the land in later years, and after that, the area became part of Mexico until California joined the United States in 1850. Pasadena incorporated in 1886. Today, Pasadena has grown into one the most well-known cities in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. It has a population of 142,017. The city is best known as home to the Rose Bowl, Tournament of Roses, the California Institute of Technology, and the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Other notable sites to visit in Pasadena include the Colorado Street Bridge, Pasadena Playhouse, and Vroman’s, which is Southern California’s oldest and largest independent bookstore.
