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.
