Welcome to San Francisco International Airport
By the year 1776, the first colony appeared on the bay area that
is now San Francisco, California. This world famous city had its humble
beginnings as a tiny little settlement until the mid 1800’s when
prospectors first found gold…igniting a huge burst in population for
San Francisco. Practically overnight, people from all over the world
rushed to San Francisco in hopes of making their own fortune in gold.
After the gold rush faded through, most of the prospectors settled in
the nearby city realizing that just as much money could be made there.
The town has been steadily growing since then. It attracted such
visitors as Mark Twain, Ambrose Bierce, and Jack London. With the aid
of the new Inter-Continental train in 1869, transportation became
easier and the city attracted even more people. By 1870, San Francisco
had become the largest city in the United States filled with immigrants
from all over the world.
Today, the city still maintains it’s international reputation and is
known for great architecture, art, food, and scenery. San Francisco is
home to some of the world’s most famous landmarks including the Golden
Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and the Fisherman’s Wharf. Visitors to San
Francisco today can be sure to be amazed at what all it offers.
