When the first settlers decided to build their homes in an area of California about 150 years ago, they found that there were four different tribes of Native Americans living nearby. The leader of the white settlers, the mayor, asked the chiefs of the four tribes what they called the place. All four tribes had a different name for the region -and the names were all very long. The mayor listened to all four names and wrote down the first syllable of each name: pa-, sa-, de-, na... and called the new town Pasadena!
