Named by cabinetmaker Wallace Salmon Holland (1837-1920), who was born in Panton, VT on the eastern shore of Lake Champlain. He came to Pasadena in 1885, a year before inaugurating this cul-de-sac, with his second wife Adelia and their kids Susie and Charles. (Susie was actually Holland’s daughter with his first wife Susan, who died days after childbirth.) Holland’s obituary credited him as the first person to establish a factory in Pasadena: his company manufactured wooden Venetian blinds and eventually doors, toys, and iceboxes. He and his family lived around the corner on Fair Oaks.
