PASADENA
Harris County • Texas Local
Incorporated on December 26, 1928
The final battle, the Battle of San Jacinto, of the Texas Revolution took place near modern Pasadena on April 21, 1836.
Mexico President Antonio López de Santa Anna was captured at Vince’s Bayou. Because this was the last conflict that led to the Mexican surrender, Pasadena and neighboring Deer Park have adopted the nickname “Birthplace of Texas”.
The area was founded in 1893 by John H. Burnett of Galveston, who named the area after Pasadena, California, because of the perceived lush vegetation.
Pasadena’s motto is: “Enriched by our Heritage. Inspired by our Future.” The Pasadena Volunteer Fire Department is the largest of all volunteer municipal fire departments in the United States.
The nearby Bayport Industrial District, one of the nation’s largest chemical processing complexes, is vital to employment in Pasadena.
High-tech businesses in the area related to NASA’s Johnson Space Center (JSC) have developed as well, and the opening of the Bayport shipping terminal is rapidly adding to the municipal economic base.
The City of Pasadena has several museums, including the Pasadena Historical Museum, the Bay Area Museum and Armand Bayou Nature Center. Pasadena also has a community theater, an annual rodeo, and the Pasadena Philharmonic.
