About San Francisco

Welcome to my channel, all about the City of San Francisco

Hi, I'm Scott, from Midwest USA, but have lived here since 1996. Come along as we walk through the neighborhoods to explore a densely populated city of 835,000 residents, covering just 46.9 sq miles (121.5 sq km).

The city, originally named Yerba Buena, was founded on June 29, 1776, when Spanish settlers established the Presidio of San Francisco at Golden Gate and the Mission San Francisco de Asís, both named for St. Francis of Assisi.

With a history from the Ohlone Native tribes to the 1849 gold rush to the hippie counterculture of the Summer of Love in the 1960s, San Francisco embodies an ever-changing bohemian lifestyle as the technology capital of the world.
