The City and County of San Francisco (IPA: /ˌsænfrænˈsɪskoʊ/) is the 4th most populous
city in California and the 14th most populous city in the United States, with a 2006
estimated population of 744,041.[4] One of the most densely populated major cities in
the U.S.,[5] San Francisco is part of the much larger San Francisco Bay Area, which is
home to approximately 7.2 million people. The city is located on the tip of the San
Francisco Peninsula, with the Pacific Ocean to the west, San Francisco Bay to the east,
and the Golden Gate to the north.
In 1776, the Spanish settled the tip of the 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 a popular international tourist destination renowned for its steep rolling
hills, an eclectic mix of Victorian and modern architecture, and a cosmopolitan population
that is highly diverse both ethnically and in sexual orientation. While the climate includes
chilly summer fog, the winters are mild. Famous landmarks include the Golden Gate
Bridge, Alcatraz Island, the cable cars, Coit Tower, and Chinatown.
