Gold Rush, Railroads, and Urban Renewal Grew San Francisco

Once colonized and owned by the Spanish conquistadores and explorers, Southern California was opened to other settlers during the 1849 Gold Rush and grew quickly with the advance of the railroad. Situated n a large bay at the Pacific Ocean, San Francisco also became a major sea port for commercial travel and freight, lining California with the Far East, Southeast Asia, and Oceana.

The City of San Francisco is large by itself, having undergone the turbulent tomes of the 1960s - 1970s and survived the odysseys and tragedies of the Haight-Ashbury District. The wonderland of freedom and free love for teens and young adults that fled the conservative establishment of other parts of America became a pit of perversion and drug-related deaths and lost its glamour in a matter of months.

Urban renewal followed in the 1980s - 1990s and the local government placed more energy into the city's economic planning organization to ensure continued growth into the 21st Century. By the end of 2007, 800,000 individuals were recorded by census figures in the full metro area.

The San Francisco Redevelopment Agency had actually been founded in 1948 and remained active into the 2010s to ensure job and business growth.

Demographics and Growth

It seems that San Francisco has had many instances of quick and massive growth. The Gold Rush days of the 19th Century certainly brought a lot of people to the area in search of fortune and a new life.

In the 20th Century, the years form 1965 - 1981 saw the total office space in San Francisco double with a tremendous onslaught of business growth. This brought the total area of business space in town to 55,000,000 square feet.

The 21st Century has shown some demographic changes in San Francisco as well, specifically in surges of population migration in and out of the area.

For the first time in decades, the city lost several thousand people throughout the first administration of President George W. Bush, 2001 - 2005. However, beginning in 2004, migration into the city began to increase somewhat, largely from international peoples, particularly the Chinese.

Over 50% of the total population fo San Francisco speaks an additional language besides English and, in order of frequencey, these include Chinese dialects, Mexican Spanish, Taggalog (Philipine Language), Russian, and Vietnamese.
