The City and County of San Francisco is the fourth most populous city in California and the fourteenth-most populous in the United States, with a 2006 estimated population of 744,041.[3] It is located on the tip of the San Francisco Peninsula and is the focal point of the San Francisco Bay Area.
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. The California Gold Rush in 1848 propelled the city into 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 chilly summer fog, steep rolling hills, an eclectic mix of Victorian and modern architecture, and its peninsular location, with the Pacific Ocean to the west, the San Francisco Bay to the east, and the Golden Gate to the north. Famous landmarks include Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, the cable cars, Tower, and Chinatown.
