Product Description
by Yana Ungermann-Marshall (Author)
The city of La Canada Flintridge is made up of the nearly century-long communities of La Canada--once a mosaic of ranchlands honeycombed with vineyards and olive and citrus
groves--and Flintridge, an affluent enclave and health resort in the early 1900s. La Canada's various neighborhoods were renamed La Canada Flintridge during the city's incorporation in 1976. Known for its excellent schools and as a gateway to the Angeles National Forest, La Canada is also home to Descanso Gardens, an internationally known 165-acre botanical garden sold to Los Angeles County by former Los Angeles Daily News tycoon Manchester Boddy, and to NASA's esteemed Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), located on the city's northwest border."
