Spanish explorers first claimed ownership of the San Francisco area during the 16th century, but it wasn't until the 1770's that settlers began to move in. By 1821 all of California was taken over by Mexico, but later the Mexican-American War placed the land into the hands of the United States.

San Francisco was originally known as Yerba Buena until the name was changed in 1848. Later that same year thousands of prospectors rushed into the area when a large amount of gold was discovered. The city grew quickly and was very prosperous, until a major earthquake struck in 1906. Gas lines were ruptured during the quake, and an unstoppable fire raged throughout the city. Most of the buildings were completely destroyed in the tragedy, and thousands of people lost their homes.

Efforts to rebuild San Francisco started immediately, and the city was soon prospering once again. Two major bridges were built – the Bay Bridge and Golden Gate Bridge – to better connect San Francisco to nearby Bay Area cities. These overpasses helped bring even more business to the area, and things continued to look up for the city. The economy of San Francisco remained so positive that no banks closed throughout the duration of the Great Depression.

In recent years San Francisco gained a reputation for being a cultural hub. It was known as the home for the Beat Generation in the 1950's, a haven for Hippies during the 1960's and a leader in the gay rights movement. Today San Francisco is a popular tourist destination, a city known for technology and innovation, and an area that attracts new residents from all across the globe.
