About San Francisco  The City and County of San Francisco (population 776,773), is the fourth-largest city in the state of California, United States, in terms of population. It is a consolidated city-county situated at the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula that forms San Francisco Bay. The city-county also includes the Farallon Islands 27 miles offshore.
The city is the focal point of the San Francisco Bay Area metropolitan area, whose total population is about 7 million. U.S. census data shows that San Francisco has the highest population density of any city aside from New York City.
The first Europeans to settle in San Francisco were the Spanish, in 1776. The city grew rapidly due to the California gold rush starting in 1848.
The city was devastated by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, but was rebuilt quickly. The phoenix on the city's flag represents San Francisco's "rebirth" from the ashes of the fire that resulted from the quake. Long enjoying a bohemian reputation, the city became a counterculture magnet in the second half of the 20th century. It was a center of the dot-com boom at the end of the century.
