<h1 style="text-align: center;">Pasadena, <em>Los Angeles</em></h1>
<p>Pasadena is a city in Los Angeles County, California, United States. Pasadena is the ninth-largest city in Los Angeles County. Pasadena was incorporated on June 19, 1886, becoming the fourth city to be incorporated in Los Angeles County, after Los Angeles (April 4, 1850), Anaheim (February 10, 1870) and Santa Ana (June 1, 1886); the latter two moved to Orange County after its separation from Los Angeles County in 1889. It is one of the primary cultural centers of the San Gabriel Valley. The city is known for hosting the annual Rose Bowl football game and Tournament of Roses Parade. In addition, Pasadena is also home to many scientific and cultural institutions, including the California Institute of Technology, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Fuller Theological Seminary, Art Center College of Design, the Pasadena Playhouse, the Norton Simon Museum of Art and the Pacific Asia Museum.</p>
<p>Pasadena is home to the Tournament of Roses Parade, held each year on January 1. The first parade was held in 1890 and was originally sponsored by the Valley Hunt Club, a Pasadena social club. The Rose Parade is satirized by the popular Doo Dah Parade, an annual event that originated in Old Pasadena in 1978, and soon gained national notoriety. Readers Digest named the Doo Dah Parade &ldquo;America&rsquo;s Best Parade&rdquo;, and was a recent feature in 50 Places You Must Visit Before You Die!. In 2011, after 33 years in Pasadena, the parade moved to East Pasadena for the first time. It features unusual and absurd entrants such as the BBQ &amp; Hibachi Marching Grill Team, the Men of Leisure, and the Bastard Sons of Lee Marvin. Proceeds from the parade&rsquo;s pancake breakfast, T-shirts, and after-party are donated to charity.</p>
<p>The Rose Bowl, a National Historic Landmark, is host of the first and most famous college football postseason bowl game, the Tournament of Roses Rose Bowl Game, every New Year&rsquo;s Day. The game, now known as the Rose Bowl, would become the first New Year&rsquo;s post-season college football game ever and has developed into a tradition in many college arenas. Soon outgrowing its original facility, a new stadium was constructed in the Arroyo Seco area. The new stadium hosted its first New Year&rsquo;s Day football game in 1923 and was soon christened &ldquo;The Rose Bowl&rdquo;.</p>
<p>Orange Grove Boulevard is one of several exclusive residential districts in Pasadena, and has been a home for the rich and famous since the early 20th century. Because of the number of landmark mansions, the street earned the name Millionaire&rsquo;s Row, an appropriate sobriquet considering that the estates that once lined this spacious boulevard and the surrounding neighborhood read like a Who&rsquo;s Who of American consumer products.</p>
