Pasadena

Now called Pasadena, the intersection of 13th Line and Road 78 (formerly 8th Line and Evelyn Sideroad) was previously known as McMillan Corners. This name originated from resident Duncan McMillan, who owned three of the four lots at the crossroads, all of which were farms. While McMillan eventually purchased it, John Hogg owned the fourth corner in Pasadena. In 1901, McMillan built a house, a barn, and a general store and operated a post office on an acre of his original lot. However, McMillan soon discovered that he did not enjoy running the post office, and thus, John Galloway obtained government permission to move it to land he had purchased across the road. 

The first school in Pasadena was built on the west side of the townline (Lot 5, Concession 7). It was a log schoolhouse with desks against the wall. At least two teachers were on staff, and classes were held for young students during the day and older students at night after chores were completed. By 1864, McMillan Corners and surrounding communities were growing, and a new school was erected on Lot 5 on Concession 8. 

 In 1909, McMillan Corners was renamed Pasadena. Buildings erected by Mr. McMillan were slowly taken down, and the McMillan property was later bought by Russell Alderson in 1928.
