About Altadena
Altadena is an unincorporated census-designated place located
in Los Angeles County, California approx. 14 miles from the downtown
Los Angeles Civic Center. As of the 2000 census, the CDP had a
total population of 42,610. The name Altadena derives from the
Spanish alta, meaning "upper," and -dena from Pasadena
[1]; the area is adjacent to, but at a higher elevation than,
Altadena is in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, bordering
Angeles National Forest So named because it is above Pasadena.
Altadena is an unincorporated community of the Fifth Supervisorial
District of Los Angeles County, California. Bordered by the Sierra
Madre Mountains and the Angeles National Forest to the north,
the Arroyo Seco (City of Pasadena) on the west, The City of Pasadena
on the South, and Eaton Canyon on the East.
Featuring spectacular views of the San Gabriel Mountains, Altadena
was developed as a suburb of Los Angeles in 1887. It has long
refused annexation by neighboring Pasadena. Its unincorporated
status allowed Los Angeles County to overcome local NIMBYism and
build several public housing projects from the 1940s onward. None
of these remains in operation, but a sizable African-American
community remains as a legacy.
