South Pasadena split from Pasadena in the late 1800s and incorporated as a small town of about 500. This small town grew right away, mainly due to its beauty and its agriculture. Tourism soared for this area as travels came to ride the big birds at the Cawston ostrich farm or to relax at LA’s first luxury hotel the Raymond Hotel.
