San Francisco, al cărui nume oficial complet este [The] City and County of San Francisco, în limba română Oraşul şi Comitatul San Francisco, pe scurt doar San Francisco, este cel de-al patrulea oraş ca mărime din California şi al patruspezecela ca mărime a populaţiei din Statele Unite ale Americii,[3] with a 2006 population of 798,680 (estimate).[2] It is located on the tip of the San Francisco Peninsula and is the focal point of the San Francisco Bay Area. San Francisco is the second most densely populated major city[4] in the United States.[5]
In 1776, the Spanish settled the tip of the San Francisco peninsula, establishing a fort at the Golden Gate and a mission named for Francis of Assisi. As a result of the California Gold Rush in 1848, the city entered a period of rapid growth. After being devastated by the 1906 earthquake and fire, San Francisco was quickly rebuilt.
San Francisco is renowned for its months-long episodes of fog, steep rolling hills, an eclectic mix of Victorian and modern architecture, its peninsular location (surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay), and its liberal cultural and political identity. Famous hallmarks and landmarks include the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, the cable cars, the Transamerica Pyramid, Coit Tower, and Chinatown.
