| About Altadena
- Altadena is a census-designated place located in Los
Angeles County, California. As of the 2000 census, the
CDP had a total population of 42,610.
Featuring spectacular views of the San Gabriel Mountains,
Altadena was developed as a suburb of Los Angeles in
the 1890s. 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 remain in operation, but a sizable black community,
of varying income levels, remains as a legacy.
