Known as the "City by the Bay", San Francisco is home to dramatic cityscapes, beautiful coastal views, cultural diversity and charming older homes and neighborhoods.
The Golden Gate Bridge and cable cars are what most people envision when you mention San Francisco. However, the city has been around for nearly 250 years. It attracted people with gleams of gold in their eyes and hopes of fortune in their hearts during the gold rush. It is now a Mecca for artists, poets, immigrants, and people who march to the beat of their own drummer.
San Francisco is the fourth largest city in the state of California. It also claims the title of the fourteenth largest state in the United States with a population of approximately 740,000 people. It is one of the most recognizable cities in the world.
During the Gold Rush in 1848, there was a growth surge that helped form the city as we know it. The city was devastated by an earthquake in 1906 but was quickly rebuilt bigger and better.
The fog rolling in, the steep hills, view of the Pacific Ocean and the diversity of many cultures melded together make San Francisco a beautiful city full of history and a wonderful place to visit.
