San Francisco is the second-most densely populated major city in the United States, located in Northern California on the San Francisco Peninsula. It is the fourth-most populous city in California and the 13th-most populous city in the United States, with an estimated population of 884,363 in 2019. San Francisco is located on the West Coast of the United States, surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay. It is known for its hilly terrain, iconic landmarks, diverse culture, and vibrant neighborhoods.
San Francisco is home to the Golden Gate Bridge, the most photographed bridge in the world. The city is also known for its cable cars, which have been running since 1873, making it the oldest and largest operating system of its kind in the world. San Francisco is also home to Alcatraz Island, once a notorious prison and now a popular tourist destination.
San Francisco has a vibrant history, beginning with the Ohlone people, who were the first inhabitants of the area. In 1776, the Spanish founded the Presidio of San Francisco, and in 1846, the city was taken over by the United States during the Mexican-American War. The Gold Rush of 1849 brought thousands of people to the city, and by the mid-1800s, San Francisco had become a major port city and a hub of commerce.
In 1906, San Francisco was devastated by an earthquake that destroyed much of the city and killed thousands of people. The city was rebuilt in the following years and has since become a major tourist destination. Today, San Francisco is known for its diverse culture and vibrant neighborhoods, as well as its iconic landmarks and attractions.
