La Cañada Flintridge, California

History

The Tongva were first to settle in the area. Local villages included Tejungna (now the city of Tujunga, west of La Cañada) and Hahamongna (now Hahamongna Watershed Park, east of La Cañada), connected by a network of trails, which passed through what is now La Cañada Flintridge. They made extensive use of the live oaks which still are common in La Cañada, as a source of food and shelter. In 1771, the Tongva were enslaved by missionaries at Mission San Gabriel Arcángel, resulting in their other name: Gabrielinos.

La Cañada

During the Spanish and Mexican eras, the area was known as Rancho La Cañada. La Cañada comes from the Spanish word cañada (), meaning 'canyon', 'gorge', or 'ravine'. It is unrelated to the name of the country of Canada.

In 1875, Rancho La Cañada was purchased by two business partners, Jacob Lanterman and Adolphus Williams. Over the next several decades, development was slow, largely owing to the scarcity of sources of water, but some orchards growing stone fruit or oranges were present. Another attraction was the air quality, with a high concentration of tuberculosis sufferers and their families emigrating to convalesce in a place with notably clear air.

Flintridge

Flintridge was named after its developer, United States senator Frank P. Flint.

Flintridge comprises the southern part of the city, covering the northern flank of the San Rafael Hills, but more generally including most areas south of Foothill Blvd. The eastern part, even north of Foothill Blvd, was also originally considered Flintridge and is still home to the Flintridge Riding Club and Flintridge Preparatory School.

Incorporation

On November 30, 1976, the cities of Flintridge and La Cañada were merged into a single incorporated city named "La Cañada Flintridge". Reference to the entire city is often shortened to just "La Cañada" or seldom to just "Flintridge". The full city name specifically does not have a hyphen in it, to illustrate unity between the two communities that became one.

Geography

The city is situated in the Crescenta Valley and far western end of the San Gabriel Valley, between the San Gabriel Mountains and Angeles National Forest to the north, and the San Rafael Hills to the south. Most of the city drains southeastward toward the Arroyo Seco area in Pasadena, but the western part of the city (generally west of Alta Canyada Road) drains southward toward Glendale via Verdugo Canyon. Both drainages join the Los Angeles River north of downtown Los Angeles.

La Cañada Flintridge varies in elevation from about 970 ft just below Devil's Gate Dam in the Arroyo Seco to about 2400 ft at the highest neighborhood, along the mountain front east of Pickens Canyon, at the upper end of Ocean View Blvd. The city limits extend into the San Gabriel Mountains and reach 3440 ft along Mount Lukens Road, which follows the crest line well above the developed city.

In August 2009, the city came under threat by the Station Fire. The city is considered a "very high fire hazard severity zone" because of the local topography at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains and abundance of California Live Oak, despite an aggressive fire safety program. In January 2025, virtually the entire city was evacuated in response to the Eaton Fire, which destroyed many homes in the neighboring community of Altadena. The destruction of chaparral vegetation by wildfire often is followed by mudslides during the following rains, as was observed in 2010, damaging homes adjacent to arroyos at the Northern edge of the city.

Climate

The climate of La Cañada Flintridge is typical of a Southern California inland valley, with mild winters and hot summers. Spring often has hazy days, in contrast to the more persistently clear weather of fall. On average, the warmest month is August with high temperatures in the low to mid 90s and lows in the low 70s. December and January are the coolest months with typical highs in the low to mid 60s and lows in the low 40s. Rainfall occurs mostly during winter, averaging about 21 inches annually. Rainfall is rare in summer.

During winter atmospheric river events, storm rainfall totals can be magnified by the orographic effect of the San Gabriel Mountains, producing intense runoff in the foothills where La Cañada is located. In December 1933 and January 1934, the La Cañada Valley was severely flooded in the Crescenta Valley flood (1933 and 1934).

The moderating influence of the ocean (22 miles, 35 km, away) is limited due to the city's location inland from the intervening Santa Monica Mountains, the Verdugo Mountains, and the San Rafael Hills. Consequently, summers are generally hotter and winters often cooler than in coastal parts of metropolitan Los Angeles, if winds are calm or blowing gently offshore. Occasional strong offshore winds, known as the Santa Ana winds, can bring particularly hot air in summer and fall as air from the desert plateaus crosses the mountains and descends, thus warming further by adiabatic heating. Summer and early fall temperatures are substantially cooler if the prevailing wind is persistently onshore. Occasionally during a winter storm, the upper elevations of the city may see trace amounts of snow. Several ski resorts, Mountain High, Mount Baldy, and Mount Waterman, are located about 30 mi to the northeast.

Government

Municipal government

La Cañada Flintridge is governed by its city council, which has five members, each elected to overlapping four-year terms. Each year, the council selects one of its members to serve as mayor and another to serve as mayor pro-tem for terms of one year. The elections were held on March of odd-numbered years until 2017. Beginning in 2020, the elections are held during the California Primary elections. The council is aided by five commissions and two committees, each with its own area of responsibility. In addition, the council appoints the city manager, city attorney, city treasurer, and all members of its advisory bodies. It also serves as the governing board for the public improvement corporation, the redevelopment agency, the LCF Local Financing Authority, and Sanitation Districts No. 28 and No. 34.

As of April 2024, the current members of the city council are:{{Cite web | access-date = June 13, 2020 | archive-date = June 13, 2020 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200613184639/https://cityoflcf.org/city-clerk/city-council/bios/ | url-status = live

Education

Primary and secondary schools

Public schools

The La Cañada Unified School District (LCUSD) serves most of the city, and is ranked as one of the top public school districts in the state that have a single high school. On September 13, 2010, the California Department of Education announced that 2010 California Standards Tests (CSTs) results indicate that the La Cañada Unified School District earned the second highest Academic Performance Index (API) score in the state. The API reflects a district's performance level, based on the results of statewide testing. The district has three public elementary schools that serve grades K-6: La Cañada Elementary, Palm Crest Elementary, and Paradise Canyon Elementary School. The public high school, La Cañada High School, which also serves as a middle school (grades 7–8), is a 1993 and 2004 Blue Ribbon School. The high school was founded in 1963, when students who previously attended John Muir High School in Pasadena changed schools as part of a process of white flight, responding to the racial integration of Pasadena schools during that period.

A small western portion of the city is served by the Glendale Unified School District, with La Cañada Flintridge students attending Mountain Avenue Elementary School, Rosemont Middle School, Anderson W. Clark Magnet High School and Crescenta Valley High School.

Private schools

Several private schools are located within La Cañada. The private high schools within the city limits are St. Francis High School, Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy, and Flintridge Preparatory School.

The private elementary schools within the city limits are Crestview Preparatory (K-6), The Learning Castle (K-3), La Cañada Preparatory (grades 4–8), and St. Bede (K-8).

Delphi Academy of Los Angeles, a Delphi Academy school, opened in La Cañada Flintridge in 1984. The school left the city when its current campus in Lake View Terrace, Los Angeles opened in 2003.

Media

The city was originally serviced by two newspapers: the La Cañada Valley Sun, a community division of the Los Angeles Times, and the La Cañada Outlook. However, in April 2020, the Los Angeles Times announced it would be shutting down some of its local papers, including the La Cañada Valley Sun due to continuing financial issues that were worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic. Shortly after, Outlook Newspapers Group announced they were buying the Valley Sun and were rebranding their newspaper as the La Cañada Outlook Valley Sun.

Infrastructure

Water and utilities

The city is served by the Foothill Municipal Water District, formed in 1952 as a union of La Cañada Irrigation District and the water districts of neighboring communities. Previously, most of the area's water came from local springs, but as the population grew, the Foothill MWD arranged to purchase Colorado River and California State Water Project water sourced from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, with local sources still providing around 20% of the area's needs.

Sewage is handled by LA County Sanitation District. Sewage is transported to several regional plants, including La Cañada Water Reclamation Plant, a small plant adjacent to La Cañada Country Club. After decades using septic systems for sewage treatment, proposals to install a formal centralized sewage system were put forward in the early 1990s. Installation proceeded in multiple phases over the following decades, with a major expansion to over 1000 residential units beginning in 2004. By 2018, a small remnant minority of property holders with septic systems were being negotiated with to connect to the sewage system.

Emergency services

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) provides law enforcement services to La Cañada Flintridge under contract and operates the Crescenta Valley Station in La Crescenta.

The Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD) operates fire stations 19 and 82 in the city. Also an additional one at JPL NASA. Fire stations 11 and 12 in Altadena, and station 63 in La Crescenta-Montrose also serve the city regularly. Emergency transportation is done by Care Ambulance Service. Annual landscaping inspections and "stringent fire-safe building codes" were put in place to mitigate the risk of wildfires, like the 2009 Station Fire.

Transportation

Public transportation

The city operates a free shuttle on weekdays along Foothill Boulevard, serving a route including stops at JPL, La Cañada High School, locations in Montrose and others.

Foothill Boulevard

Foothill Boulevard is the main artery of La Cañada Flintridge, running through the center of the city. The strip of land north and south of Foothill represents the major commercial zone of the city. The road precedes the founding of the city itself, and was originally called Michigan Avenue.

210 Freeway

The 210 Freeway opened in 1972, after over ten years of intense local opposition. The building of the freeway required the acquisition and demolition of over 400 homes, and the relocation of La Canada Elementary, the post office, and some businesses.

There are three exits from the 210 Freeway into La Cañada Flintridge, making it a major entry point into the city along with the older 2 Freeway. A soundwall constructed and expanded over decades helps to reduce noise pollution, but the Freeway remains a source of particulate, ozone and other types of air pollution, as is experienced by other cities along the 210 corridor. The local experience with the 210 Freeway led La Cañada Flintridge to also be a source of resistance to the extension of the nearby 710 Freeway, which would have connected to the 210 through Pasadena, likely bringing increased truck traffic if it were built.

Angeles Crest Highway

La Cañada Flintridge is the southern terminus of the Angeles Crest Highway. It begins at the intersection with Foothill Boulevard and follows a two-mile, 5% grade before entering the San Gabriel Mountains.

In 2008, a big rig carrying 78,000 pounds of onions lost its brakes on the Angeles Crest Highway. To avoid a collision with the Hill Street Café at the intersection with Foothill Boulevard, the rig turned towards a small driveway, sideswiped the Café, crashed into a wall, a garbage bin, a tree and six vehicles before coming to rest in the parking lot. The driver explained that his GPS navigation unit pointed to State Route 2 as the most direct route from the high desert to Los Angeles. A similar incident occurred at roughly the same location in 2009, when a car carrier lost its brakes and, despite three runaway vehicle escape medians in the center islands, caused multiple vehicle accidents that resulted in two fatalities and 12 injuries, three of them critical. Angel Jorge Posca, 58, and his 12-year-old daughter Angelina, both of Palmdale, had just exited the eastbound Foothill Freeway at the Angeles Crest Highway in their red Ford Escort and were starting to turn north on the highway to return to Palmdale when the semi-truck struck their vehicle.

A bill that bans heavy trucks with three or more axles from driving on the Angeles Crest Highway was signed into law by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2009.{{Cite news |access-date=September 2, 2009 |archive-date=July 24, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724101848/http://www.ktla.com/news/landing/ktla-big-rig-ban,0,34.story |url-status=dead
