San Francisco, a city and port in California, U.S., located on a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay. San Francisco is a commercial, financial and cultural center in California. In 1776, settlers from New Spain established the Presidio of San Francisco at the Golden Gate, and the Mission San Francisco de Asís a few miles away. The California gold rush of 1849 brought rapid growth, making it the largest city on the West Coast at the time.
