Pasadena: The Early Years chronicles the founding of the community of Pasadena, Texas in the early 1890s and its subsequent agricultural history. The story ends on the eve of World War II and the opening of Champion's paper mill in 1937. With the neighboring petrochemical industries developing along the Houston Ship Channel and the subsequent demands unleashed by the war effort, Pasadena was transformed into an industrial community that has since grown to be the second largest city in Harris County and the fifteenth largest in the state. 9.25"x6.5", 484 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. Pasadena is a city in the U.S. state of Texas, within the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land metropolitan area. 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. The Pasadena Volunteer Fire Department is the largest of all volunteer municipal fire departments in the United States. Prior to European settlement the area around Galveston Bay was settled by the Karankawa and Atakapan tribes, particularly the Akokisa, who lived throughout the Gulf coast region. Spanish explorers such as the Rivas-Iriarte expedition and José Antonio de Evia charted the bay and gave it its name. The pirate Jean Lafitte established a short-lived kingdom based in Galveston in the early 19th century with bases and hide-outs around the bay and around Clear Lake. [11] Lafitte was forced to leave in 1821 by the U.S. Navy. Following its declaration of independence from Spain the new nation of Mexico moved to colonize its northern territory of Texas by offering land grants to settlers both from within Mexico and from the nearby United States. The colony established by Stephen F. Austin and the Galveston Bay and Texas Land Company of New York rapidly began a wave of settlement around the bay. Following a coup in the Mexican government by General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, Texas revolted against Mexican rule in 1835. After several battles and skirmishes the final battle of the Texas Revolution took place near modern Pasadena on April 21, 1836. 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".
