Birthplace of Texas

Pasadena is near the location of the final battle of the Texas Revolution, which occurred on April 21, 1836. The Mexican General Antonio López de Santa Anna was captured at Vince's Bayou. A monument to that battle, known as the San Jacinto Monument, is located on the outskirts of the city on the ship channel. Because this was the last conflict that led to the Mexican surrender, Pasadena and neighboring Deer Park are known as the "Birthplace of Texas." Washington County, Texas shares the claim to that title, since that is where the Texas Declaration of Independence was signed.

The Allen Ranch

A large ranch occupied what is now western Pasadena all the way to Harrisburg, Texas. That ranch was known as the Allen Ranch. By 1888, the Allen Ranch contained 15,000 acres (60 km²) in Harris County, 10,000 acres (40 km²) in Brazoria County, Texas with grazing lands in Galveston and Fort Bend Counties. Sam Allen had started the ranch 45 years earlier with 350 acres (1.4 km²). When he was 62, he suffered a sunstroke and was buried in nearby Harrisburg in 1888. Harrisburg was founded before 1825 on the east shore of the Buffalo Bayou in present-day Harris County, Texas, on land belonging to John Richardson Harris. ...

The 19 mile (31 km) fence

The Galveston, Harrisburg & Houston Railroad ran through the Allen ranch. There was a problem of cattle being regularly killed on the tracks and in 1875, Sam Allen built a 19 mile (31 km) fence along the east side of the railway right of way to keep the cattle off the tracks. The fence ran from Harrisburg to League City and had four rails and a top rail wide enough to walk on. A gate was placed in the fence at the Harrisburg-Lynchburg Road with a large sign above instructing that it should be closed at all times. The area east of this railroad fence running from Buffalo Bayou to the tracks on Sims Bayou ran all the way to Galveston Bay. It contained 100,000 acres (400 km²) of grazing land for cattle. Harrisburg was founded before 1825 on the east shore of the Buffalo Bayou in present-day Harris County, Texas, on land belonging to John Richardson Harris. ...

First settlements

Downtown Pasadena after the 1915 Hurricane.

In the area were small post along Buffalo Bayou such as Lynchburg, Clinton, Morgans Point, La Porte and the larger towns of Harrisburg and Houston. Many other "proposed" towns in or near present day Pasadena were set up but short lived and either abandoned or never even got off the ground. Some of these included, Germantown, later known as Frostown, Hamilton, which tried to steer away residents of Harrisburg, San Jacinto a town across from the Lynchburg Ferry, Louisville just down stream. A huge development called Buffaloe at the mouth of Vince Bayou was proposed by Merriweather Woodson Smith on July 8, 1837. He had purchased 2,222 acres (8.99 km²) from the William Vince survey, but not lots were ever sold. Image File history File linksMetadata Pasadena_TX_Old_Downtown. ...

In 1892 Colonel John H. Burnett of Galveston established an unnamed townsite on the Vince Survey just east of the Allen Ranch. Burnett was involved in both construction and promoting railroads and knew the impact of railroads on the value of property. The land was sold in 10 acre lots. He had also established the nearby towns or Deepwater and Genoa, later to be incorporated into Pasadena and Houston. Genoa Township was a township located about 15 miles south-east of Houston, Texas. ...

Naming of Pasadena

Much speculation has surrounded the true story on how Pasadena, Texas received its name. It is claimed by some sources that the word "Pasadena" is Spanish for "land of flowers." ^[1] There is also a story from Pasadena, California on the origins of the word as follows; Dr. Thomas Elliott was searching for a new name of his Southern California town, 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. After Pasadena, California was established Burnett had visited the area and decided that area near the Vince Bayou looked very similar to Pasadena, and named the new Texas town after it. ^[2] Pasadena is a city in Los Angeles County, California, United States. ...

Because of its location near the enormous amount of refineries that dot the ship channel (which help to make Houston's petrochemical complex the largest in the nation), Pasadena has been dubbed by locals with the nickname "Stinkadena." Another reason for the name may be the large sewage treatment plant located along State Highway 225 that links Houston to Pasadena. Another nickname, "Pasa-get-down-dena", was coined in the mid-1980s by a Houston morning radio DJ named Moby on his show Moby in the Morning on the long gone station, 97 Rock.

Gilley's and Urban Cowboy

A vintage Gilley's belt buckle

Pasadena was enshrined in film history when John Travolta, Debra Winger and others descended on the city to film the 1980 hit movie Urban Cowboy, which depicted life and young love in Pasadena. The film centered around the city's enormous honky-tonk bar Gilley's, which was co-owned by country music star Mickey Gilley. In 1989 Gilley's suffered an arson fire that gutted the interior, but the building's shell was still standing until 2006 when it was demolished by the Pasadena Independent School District, its current owner. Only the old sound recording studio remains. The old sign was moved to the Cowboy Ranch, a local restaurant no longer in business.

Strawberry Festival

The Galveston Hurricane of 1900 caused many people to resettle in Pasadena. Clara Barton of the American Red Cross purchased 1.5 million strawberry plants and sent them to Pasadena to help victims of the flood get back on their feet.

At its height, the city's strawberry growers shipped as many as 28 train carloads of strawberries each day.
