About San Francisco
The mood-setting fog has always been a part of San Francisco’s scenery, gently surrounding and
defining the bay. It might even have been this enthralling, blanketing mist that kept many
European explorers from finding this land.
It was not until 1579 that Sir Francis Drake landed at Point Reyes (Drake’s Bay), 35 miles north
of San Francisco. He claimed the land for Queen Elizabeth, and sailed past the Golden Gate.
Some years later Sebastian Cermeno, sailing under the Spanish flag, landed at Point Reyes and
renamed it La Bahia de San Francisco, after the founder of the Franciscan order. It wasn’t until
nearly 200 years later that the San Francisco Bay would be discovered.
Juan Manuel de Ayala became the first European to enter the San Francisco Bay in 1775. That
same year Juan Bautista de Anza followed suit, and built a presidio (fort) on the southern side of
the Golden Gate and the Mission Dolores, now in the heart of the Mission district. A small
village known as Yerba Buena developed between the two and became the birthplace of today’s
San Francisco, where in 1847 it was officially named so.
Gold was discovered on January 24, 1948 at John Sutter’s sawmill
in Colma, just 100 northeast of San Francisco. Word spread, and
thousands of fortune seekers swarmed into San Francisco. With
the arrival of the 49ers, the once slowly growing village became a
bustling city. In 1850, California became the 31st state in the union,
and San Francisco became incorporated as a city that same year.
As the initial Gold Rush subsided, a second rush took place in 1859, with the mining of silver at
Comstock Lode. During this time, the population increased significantly, businesses grew to
meet new demands, and San Francisco proved itself as an important port and financial center.
On April 18, 1906 things changed for San Francisco as an 8.3magnitude earthquake struck San Francisco. Fires burned for
several days, 700 people were killed, and 28,000 buildings were
destroyed. The destruction was followed by a decade of
rebuilding to revitalize the once vibrant city.
In the 1930s, two magnificent symbols of the area, the Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge,
were built. Naval shipyards sprang up in the city, as San Francisco
became a major launching pad for military operations during World War II.
San Francisco, in the 1950s, gave birth to the “Beat” generation. The 1960s
was a generation of hippies and the Haight-Ashbury. With local bands like the
Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane setting the movement, the “Summer of
Love” was born. In the 1970s, homosexuals stepped “out of the closet,” and
gay rights movement reached a new peak.
6
In the 1990s, the Bay Area experienced another period of urban renewal with a building boom
that brought new life to neighborhoods and historic buildings. Also during this time, a new
media boom took place in Silicon Valley. During this age of new media, the Bay Area became a
major player dot-com game. Today’s cutting edge scene lies in biotech. And, like in the past,
the San Francisco is right in the midst of the action with UCSF’s new Mission Bay Campus.
San Francisco is a center for higher education with schools such as UC Berkeley, UCSF,
Stanford University, and UCSF – Hastings School of the Law. San Francisco is also of city full
of international flavors displayed through its culinary delights and colorful culture. With such
amenities, and San Francisco’s skylight continually changing and expanding, more and more
people are moving into San Francisco.
In an age of freeways and urban sprawl, San Francisco remains a compact city with a thriving
downtown business and retail center, and attractive, friendly neighborhoods. With its sheer
physical beauty, cultural diversity, leisure and recreational offerings, and ideal climate San
Francisco has something for everyone. Today, it is still recognized as a global jewel.

home to elaborate ranch-style and groves of eucalyptus, cypress and pine trees. City College of
San Francisco is nearby.
x

St. Francis Wood: This neighborhood consists of an elite tract of home on the southwest side of
San Francisco. The beautifully landscaped curving lanes lead to distinguished, grand-scale home.
x
Sunset: Before the 1930s, the Sunset district was made up of sand dunes that extended west to
Ocean Beach. The Sunset is located just south of Golden Gate Park, north of Sloat Boulevard,
and framed by Stanyan Street and Ocean Beach. The Sunset is one of the foggiest pockets of all
of San Francisco, thanks to its location near Ocean Beach.
x
Telegraph Hill: Coit Tower, a 180-foot tower resembling a fire-hose nozzle, sits authoritatively
at the top of Telegraph Hill.
x
Twin Peaks: Named for two hills reaching approximately 910 feet each, Twin Peaks offers the
most panoramic views of the city and bay. Some homes on the northern crest of Twin Peaks
resemble Spanish Villas, while the eastern side has mainly apartment houses.
x
Western Addition: Western Addition includes the plateau west of Civic Center, stretching west
to Masonic and Presidio avenues. Victorian houses, many restored, dominate the area's
architecture. Sights include the musically historic Fillmore Auditorium.
x
West Portal: On the western side of the lengthy Twin Peaks tunnel, the charming neighborhood
of West Portal emerges, nestled at the foot of Mt. Davidson, Forest Heights and Edgehill Heights.
With small businesses, a variety of restaurants and a movie theater, West Portal is its own "city
within the city." The neighborhood is known for its rather sedate, middle-class lifestyle.
x
Yerba Buena: This neighborhood South of Market (SOMA) is centered around the Yerba Buena
Center and Gardens, which is quickly becoming a sophisticated center for art and business.

Weather
The San Francisco Bay Area enjoys one of the mildest climates on earth, and one of the most
diverse. The climate varies throughout the area. Along the Pacific Ocean, fog prevails during
much of the summer months because of the dry inversion of continental air currents and the
moist air currents from the Pacific. As you move inward from the coast, fog disappears, in part
because of warming air currents and a gradual increase in altitude. Areas east and south of San
Francisco experience cooler winters and warmer summers.
San Francisco is blessed with a temperature marine climate and enjoys mild weather year round.
Temperatures seldom rise above 70qF (21qC) or fall below 10qF (5qC). Morning and evening
fogs roll in during the summer months, but rarely persist.
Just when you get lulled by the sameness of the weather, it changes. Yet, as with California in
general, there is really no better place to be.

Commuting & Transportation
From San Francisco’s extraordinary cable car run down Clay Street in 1873 to the present-day
computerized Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), San Francisco has had a long and successful
tradition of public transportation.
San Francisco boats the seventh-largest public transit system in the United States (measured
by ridership). The San Francisco Municipal Railway (MUNI) has in its conveyance arsenal a
variety of cable cars and vintage streetcars. Subway/surface light-rail vehicles and electric
and diesel buses transport thousands of passengers daily. This substantial ridership, and the
fact that one-half of MUNI’s fleet uses electricity as a means of energy, allows San Francisco
to minimize environmental impact on the urban environment.

State Requirements for Drivers
Driver’s License
You are required by California law to obtain a California driver’s license within ten days of
establishing residence within the state. Since the license is used constantly for purposes of
identification, you should get it as soon as possible.
To obtain a license, you must pass the following tests:
x Written test on rules of the road (mandatory)
x Eye test (mandatory)
x Driving test (If you do not have a valid license from another state or if your
license has been revoked or has expired for one year.)
Automobile Registration
If you are moving from out of state, you must register your out-of-state vehicle upon entry.
To avoid penalty, you have twenty days to resolve the matter. The registration fee depends on
the make and year of the car. In general, newer cars and more expensive cars will cost more
to register.
Registration costs include:
x Registration fees
x License plate charge
x Sales tax, if car was purchased within the last ninety days
When registering your out-of-state vehicle, be sure to have:
x California smog certificate
x Out-of-state title or registration
x Vehicle you are registering

Driving Requirements
Smog Certificates
All post-1965 model cars that you plan to register in California must have a smog certificate
prior to registration, even if no additional smog device is necessary. Certification charges will
vary. Smog inspections can be completed at many convenient locations. You may want to
check with a nearby service station or dealer for details. Certificates must be renewed every
two years.
Child Safety Seats
California law requires that a child passenger restraint (child safety seat or booster seat) be
used on all children until they are at least 6 years old or weigh at least 60 pounds, and be
placed in the back seat.
Seat Belt Law
Under California law, both the driver and all passengers in a passenger vehicle must wear seat
belts.
Insurance
Automobile insurance must provide minimum coverage for each accident. Check with your
insurance company for the amounts.
