San Francisco was one of the earliest cities to be founded during the birth of our nation. The first Europeans to settle here were the Spanish, in 1776. The California gold rush 75 years later launched San Francisco as a destination point and ushered in a period of rapid growth. Although accommodations were marginal during the gold rush years - it established the population base that later grew this city into one of the most beautiful on earth. San Francisco is both a city and a county, consolidated, into a "one of a kind" metropolitan unit. While the city has a population of only 750,000 (fourth largest in California), it also forms the hub of a Combined Statistical Area, or CSA, with a population of over 7 million. In 1906 the city experienced what is now the famous San Francisco earthquake. Almost the entire city burned to the ground and so virtually all of the legacy architecture dates from after this period. It was during the rebuilding phase of San Francisco that Mr. A. P. Giannini gained wide recognition and rapid growth for his Bank of Italy - which would become known as "the peoples bank" and later…The Bank of America.
