Pasadena is located ten miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles . The city is bordered by ten communities - Highland Park , Glendale , South Pasadena , San Marino , Arcadia , Sierra Madre, La Cañada Flintridge, and Altadena . The communities of Eagle Rock and Garvanza are incorporated within the city of Los Angeles and Altadena is an unincorporated part of Los Angeles County . Despite its location well within the Greater Los Angeles metropolis, Pasadena is a largely self-contained city with its own suburbs: Altadena, Arcadia, La Cañada Flintridge, San Gabriel, San Marino, Sierra Madre, and South Pasadena, and a broad economic base, noted cultural, scientific, and educational institutions, and shopping and dining establishments that attract customers from the region. The original inhabitants of Pasadena and surrounding areas was the Native American Hahamog-na tribe, a branch of the Tongva, part of the Shoshone language group. Pasadena is a part of the original Spanish land grant named Rancho del Rincon de San Pascual, so named because it was deeded on Easter Sunday to Eulalia Perez de Guillén Mariné of Mission San Gabriel Arcángel. The Rancho comprised the lands of today's communities of Pasadena , Altadena and South Pasadena . The mail came to the Indiana Colony via Los Angeles so marked. In an attempt to obtain their own Post Office, the Colony needed to change the name to something the Postmaster General would consider more fitting. The town fathers put three names up to a vote. The first was Indianola. The second was Granada , in keeping with the area's Spanish heritage. The third was proposed by Dr. Thomas Elliott, who had contacted an Indian missionary friend in Michigan who had worked with the Minnesota Chippewa Indians. He submitted four names for translation: "Crown of the Valley," "Key of the Valley," "Valley of the Valley," and "Hill of the Valley." The names came back starting with "Weo-quan pa-sa-de-na," "Hat of the Valley." All the names ended in "pa-sa-de-na (of the valley)". The name was put to a vote, and due to its euphonious nature, it was accepted as Pasadena . Pasadena was incorporated, the second incorporated municipality of Southern California after Los Angeles , in March eighteen eighty-six. In eighteen ninety-two, John H. Burnett of Galveston , Texas had visited Pasadena and when returned to his home near Houston , Texas he plotted a town along two bayous and named it Pasadena , Texas after the California city for its lush vegetation.
