How old is San Francisco?

San Francisco is San Francisco, formerly known as Yeva Buena, also known as San Francisco. Overseas Chinese call it San Francisco. It was named by Mexicans in Spanish in 1847. It has been around since 165 years of history

At that time, there were only more than 800 residents here. It was originally a Spanish colonial stronghold and was later taken over by Mexico. It was occupied by the US military during the US-Mexican War. In January 1848 in the Sacremento Valley, a carpenter discovered gold in the water flowing from a waterwheel while building a sawmill. The news spread like wildfire, triggering a gold rush around the world. In just three months, San Francisco's population surged by 25,000. Many of these Chinese were sold here as coolies to dig gold mines and build railways, and they were prepared to endure hardships. After that, a large number of Chinese workers settled here, and they called the city San Francisco (to distinguish it from New Gold Mountain in Australia). The strongest point of San Francisco is the enthusiasm of immigrants. This is an intoxicating culture; distinctive Italians, Brazilians, Spanish, Chinese, etc., different settlements dot the land of California.

At 5:12 a.m. on April 18, 1906, a magnitude 8.25 earthquake occurred in San Francisco. Due to burst gas pipes, many fires broke out across the city. The fires quickly turned the city into a sea of ??flames, with dazzling flames and thick smoke rising into the sky clearly visible 80 kilometers away. The fire burned for three days, and San Francisco was in ruins. In this earthquake, 3,000 people were killed, 250,000 people were made homeless, and 514 streets and 28,000 buildings were burned and collapsed. However, after experiencing such a huge disaster, San Francisco was like a phoenix rising from the ashes, rebuilding a newer and more modern city in less than six years.

The 1915 World's Fair in San Francisco signaled that it was time to rise from the ashes once and for all!
