South Pasadena, Residential city in Los Angeles County, United States.

South Pasadena spans 3.42 square miles of tree-lined streets and features historic buildings alongside a central business district with local merchants.

The city formed from the Rancho Linda Vista land grant and received incorporation status in 1888, starting with just 500 residents and Donald McIntyre Graham as mayor.

The Rialto Theater, constructed in 1925, remains one of the few single-screen cinemas in the United States and appears in numerous films including La La Land.

The city maintains five public parks - Garfield, Eddie, Library, Orange Grove, and War Memorial - that provide recreational spaces for community activities.

The Fair Oaks Pharmacy and Soda Fountain preserves its original character along Mission West, which forms part of the former U.S. Route 66.
