It is bordered roughly by Foothill Boulevard to the north, Del Mar Boulevard to the south, the Eaton Wash to the east, and Allen Avenue to the west, with a panhandle extending south along the western bank of the Eaton Wash. Like Annandale, it was originally a small township that was gradually enveloped by Pasadena.
Much like Raymond Hill, it is a historically industrial area, and is notable for the presence of large warehouses, factories, lumber yards, and garages.
On September 16, 1885, the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Valley Railroad opened the first train stop at Lamanda Park.
Prohibition ended the wineries and all that remains are grape-inspired street names like: Del Vina, Vine, Vinedo, Vineyard, and Mataro.
The Los Angeles and San Gabriel Valley Railroad line later became part of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, and service to Lamanda Park ended in the 1950s.
This rail right-of-way later became the A Line tracks, and a stop returned nearby with the Sierra Madre Villa station.
