Culture, art, great food, and history all found in the "City by the
Bay ".
The Community - San Francisco, CA
San Francisco is a cultural, commercial, and financial center in
Northern California. It is the 16th most populous city in the
United States, and the fourth most populous in California, with
881,549 residents as of 2019. It covers an area of about 46.89
square miles (121.4 square kilometers), mostly at the north end of
the San Francisco Peninsula in the San Francisco Bay Area, making
it the second most densely populated large U.S. city, and the fifth
most densely populated U.S. county. Colloquial nicknames for San
Francisco include SF , San Fran , The City , and Frisco .
San Francisco was founded on June 29, 1776, when colonists from
Spain established the Presidio of San Francisco at the Golden Gate
and Mission San Francisco de As s a few miles away, both named for
Francis of Assisi. The California Gold Rush of 1849 brought rapid
growth, making it the largest city on the West Coast at the time.
San Francisco became a consolidated city-county in 1856. San
Francisco's status as the West Coast's largest city peaked between
1870 and 1900, when around 25% of California's population resided
in the city proper. After three-quarters of the city was destroyed
by the 1906 earthquake and fire, San Francisco was quickly rebuilt,
hosting the Panama-Pacific International Exposition nine years
later. In World War II, San Francisco was a major port of
embarkation for service members shipping out to the Pacific
Theater. It then became the birthplace of the United Nations in
1945. After the war, the confluence of returning servicemen,
significant immigration, liberalizing attitudes, along with the
rise of the "beatnik " and "hippie " countercultures, the Sexual
Revolution, the Peace Movement growing from opposition to United
States involvement in the Vietnam War, and other factors led to the
Summer of Love and the gay rights movement, cementing San Francisco
as a center of liberal activism in the United States.
A popular tourist destination, San Francisco is known for its cool
summers, fog, steep rolling hills, eclectic mix of architecture,
and landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, the
former Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, Fisherman's Wharf, and its
Chinatown district. San Francisco is also the headquarters of
companies such as Twitter, Square, Airbnb, Levi Strauss & Co., Gap
Inc., Salesforce, Dropbox , Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Uber
, and Lyft . The city, and the surrounding Bay Area, is a global
center of the sciences and arts and is home to a number of
educational and cultural institutions, such as the University of
California, San Francisco (UCSF), the University of San Francisco
(USF), San Francisco State University ( SFSU ), the de Young
Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the SFJAZZ Center,
and the California Academy of Sciences.
