Pasadena Street was laid out in 1903 in the Grandview plan by Clifford B. Harmon.[1] It appears in a 1910 ordinance establishing the names of all streets in the city (misspelled as Pasedena)[2] and in the 1910 Hopkins atlas (misspelled as Passadena).[3] Bob Regan includes "Pasadena" in a list of streets named for cities.[4]
