La Cañada Flintridge, California
La Cañada Flintridge is a city in Los Angeles County, California, with a population of 20,246 in 2010. In a 2010 issue of ''Forbes'', La Cañada Flintridge ranked as the 143rd most expensive U.S. city.
==History==
During the Spanish and Mexican eras, the area was known as ''Rancho La Cañada.'' Prior to the city's incorporation in 1976, it consisted of two distinct communities, La Cañada and Flintridge. La Cañada comes from the Spanish word ''cañada'' (pronounced "canyada"), meaning ''canyon, gorge, or ravine''; 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.
Reference to the entire city is often shortened to just "La Cañada" or seldomly 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.
