- Pasadena Fun Facts:
- Founding of Pasadena: A severe Indiana winter during 1872-73 prompted a group of friends from Indianapolis to form an investment group with the purpose of moving to the warmer climate of Southern California. Sent to scout the area, D. M. Berry recommended purchasing a portion of the Rancho San Pasqual, which later became Pasadena.
- Incorporation: One of the main reasons Pasadena was incorporated in 1886 was to abolish saloons and the sale of alcohol in the area. In February 1887, an ordinance was passed that banned liquor in Pasadena.
- Name: The word Pasadena literally means “valley” in the Ojibwa (Chippewa) Indian language, but it has been interpreted to mean “Crown of the Valley” and “Key of the Valley,” hence the adoption of both the crown and the key in the official city seal.
- The Pasadena Rose Parade, known for its lavish, flower-covered floats, is a beloved Jan. 1 tradition. It drew an estimated 700,000 in-person spectators and 37 million television viewers in 2019. The Rose Parade rolls on Wednesday, Jan. 1 at 8 a.m. starting from the corner of Green Street and Orange Grove Boulevard. For most of the 5.5-mile route, the floats will travel along Colorado Boulevard, where thousands of spectators will be stationed for the best views. There will be no Rose Parade on New Year's Day in 2021, marking the first cancellation of the annual spectacle since World War II as a result of COVID-19. Organizers noted that throughout its long history, the event has only been canceled three times: during the wartime years of 1942, 1943 and 1945.
