San Francisco, San Francisco County, California

This is an original California paper from the Old West. In 1776, Spanish colonials established a fort at the Golden Gate and a mission named for Francis of Assisi on the site.The California Gold Rush in 1848 propelled the city into a period of rapid growth, increasing the population in one year from 1,000 to 25,000, thus transforming it into the largest city on the West Coast at the time. After three-quarters of the city was destroyed by the 1906 earthquake and fire, San Francisco was quickly rebuilt, hosting the Panama-Pacific International Exposition nine years later. California became the 31st state on September 9, 1850.
