Best Rates For San Francisco Hotel Chains, Inns & Luxury Suites

A relatively small city, San Francisco, takes up only 46.5 square miles and is home to 800,000 residents. The "city by the bay" saw a huge population and economic explosion in the mid 1850's as "Gold rush fever" hit. However, in April of 1906, the greatest earthquake in California history (measuring 8.3 on the Richter scale) struck. The earthquake itself wasn't really the problem, but the fires burning out of control afterward were. By the time they burned out more than half of the city lay in ruins. Suffering through the Great Depression, San Franciscan's moved on. The construction of the Bay Bridge in 1936 and the Golden Gate Bridge in 1937 are testaments to this fact. World War II saw the Bay area as a perfect location for military operations in the Pacific, booming with shipyards throughout.

The 50's saw the beginnings of the Poet's Movement followed by the "hippies" in the 1960's. In 1967 20,000 people descended upon Golden Gate Park for a free concert and the "summer of love" was born. Things were happening for San Francisco again. Then in 1989 disaster reared it's ugly head with the Loma Prieta earthquake registering 7.1 on the Richter Scale. Luckily it hit during the World Series game and most of the population was at home watching it on television. The 90's saw another boom as the creation of Silicon Valley came about. Bringing new life to historical buildings in the area as well as sprucing up urban neighborhoods, it became the "place" to be.
