Both historically and presently, the city of San Francisco is one of America’s fastest-growing boomtowns. Until the mid-19th century, the area that is now San Francisco was home to first a handful of indigenous villages, next a Spanish military fort and mission, then a small settlement in an independent Mexico. Following the annexation of California into the United States after the Mexican-American War and the subsequent California Gold Rush, San Francisco exploded into the major city it is today. Tragedy struck the blossoming city in 1906 in the form of a devastating earthquake that leveled or burned entire neighborhoods. Nevertheless, San Francisco rebuilt into a bigger and more magnificent city than ever before. Today the city is famous for its beautiful landscapes, rich urban environment, and its position at the forefront of emerging social movements. The anchor of the conglomerate of cities that make up the “Bay Area,” San Francisco’s powerful tech industry has given it an outsized presence in the global economy relative to its size.
