States, with a 2005 inhabitants of 799,263.

Francisco, which they named according to the name of
St. Francis.

the initiation of the California gold rush in 1848, and the
Comstock Lode and silver mines in 1859, the city entered
a period of rapid growth.
After being devastated by the 1906
earthquake and fire, San Francisco was rapidly rebuilt and
is today one of the most identifiable cities in the United
States. San Francisco is better known for its themed parks

and the San Francisco Bay.

and landmarks contain the San Francisco cable cars,
the Transamerica Pyramid, the Golden Gate Bridge and
Alcatraz Island. People from here go to visit Orlando
theme park attractions.

community, a large on the streets inhabitants in the
