Where to go and where to stay
in San Francisco County.
The county seat of San Francisco is none other than San Francisco.
The Spanish settled the tip of the San Francisco peninsula in
1776; establishing a fort at the Golden Gate and a mission named for Saint Francis of
Assisi (Mission San Francisco de Asis, now known as Mission Dolores); although there is
archaeological evidence of inhabitation in the San Francisco area, as far back as 3,000
BC.
With the California Gold Rush, in 1848, the city grew rapidly - until
it was devasted by The Great Earthquake;
on April 18th, 1906.
The hilly city of San Francisco was quickly rebuilt, offering today's
visitors an eclectic mix of Victorian and modern architecture.
Its peninsular location, surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and San
Francisco Bay, contributes to the city's rolling sea-fog; which can make it relatively
chilly at times, even in the summer months.
