Named by Edwin Charles Kling (1899-1990), who lived on this street for many years. Kling was born in Milwaukee to a German father and German American mother. The family moved to Pasadena by 1917 and then young Edwin set up his own twenty acre ranch here by 1920, when Kling Street was christened. (The ranch was located where Kling meets Coldwater Canyon.) Here he grew alfalfa, potatoes, and stone fruit while occasionally breeding rabbits, goats, and pigs. (We know this from all the classified ads he placed.) Kling married Sarah Neilson (1892-1954), seven years his senior, in 1921; they had their only child Margaret the following year. The Klings subdivided their ranch in 1926 but stayed here until the 1940s, when they resettled in Pasadena.
