The San Francisco Bay Region was discovered in July, 1769, by Don Gaspar de Portola's soldiers who were seeking the Monterey Bay. In 1775 Don Manuel Ayala sailed the first ship through the Golden Gate into the San Francisco Bay. The San Carlos was the name of the vessel.
Years before, however, Sir Francis Drake brought his vessel, the Golden Hind, close to the Golden Gate and ran her ashore at what is now known as Drake's Bay. This was in 1579 and the first relig- ious service in the English language was held on this continent by the chaplain of the Golden Hind.
In 1776 a land expedition commanded by Colonel Juan Bautista de Anza arrived on the San Fran- cisco peninsula and established the Presidio and the Mission Dolores. In 1777 Padre Junipero Serra, father of the California missions, arrived in San Francisco. The settlement was known as Yerba Buena until 1847, when it became San Francisco.
In 1806 the Russians attempted to establish themselves in and about San Francisco. They estab- lished a settlement at Fort Ross, near Santa Rosa, but after a few years gave it up, disposing of all movable fixtures and arms to Capt. John A. Sutter of Sacramento.
In 1846 war was declared by the United States on Mexico and on July 9, 1848, Capt. John B. Montgomery of the United States Navy arrived in the sloop-of-war "Portsmouth" and raised the American flag in what is now Portsmouth Square; thus without great excitement San Francisco passed from Spanish to Mexican and finally American rule.
San Francisco's greatest excitement perhaps came with the discovery of gold in 1848. People rushed here by every known mode of transportation and in thousands. The population increased steadily and the port became the most important on the Pacific Coast, which position it has steadily maintained.
Because of the number of lawless individuals during the fifties, the citizens organized the Vigi- lance Committee and after a short campaign succeeded in ridding the city of the law breakers.
GOVERNMENT-San Francisco has a combined city and county government, with legislative powers vested in a board of supervisors consisting of 18 members. 9 of whom are elected every two years. The mayor, auditor, treasurer, assessor, tax collector, coroner. recorder, county clerk, sheriff, police and superior court judges are elected by the people and serve four years. The mayor receives $6,000 per annum, though all other elective officers receive $8.000 a year salary. The mayor appoints and may remove for cause members of the police, fire. civil service, school. park, health and public

works commissions. It requires 14 votes on the board of supervisors to override his veto. San Fran- cisco has operated under four charters, granted in 1850, 1851, 1856 and 1898. The last embraces the "initiative and referendum" clause.
HARBOR AND COMMERCE-Nature supplied the San Francisco region with one of the finest land-locked harbors of the world. To this has been added the most comprehensive docking and berthing facilities, rail and freight connections, modern and well-equipped warehouses, etc. The area of San Francisco Bay is 450 square miles. San Francisco harbor has 18 miles of berthing space and this is constantly being added to; 7,369,015 square feet of cargo space; 48 modern piers ; facilities to dock the largest vessels: seven drydocks; 160 spur tracks; 58 miles of belt railways connecting piers and warehouses ; car capacity for more that 2900 cars; 42 cranes, derricks and aerials.
The harbor is controlled by the State of California and is governed by a board of harbor com- missioners appointed by the Governor. Of the 48 piers. most of them are assigned to steamship companies having their own fleets and operating their own schedules. Repairs and maintenance aver- age $1,500,000.
The water borne commerce of San Francisco Bay has trebled since pre-war days. San Francisco. according to the U. S. Department of Commerce at the close of 1929 ranked fourth among the 49 customs districts of the U. S. in the value of imports and exports. Arrivals and departures of vessels show the following increases :

The principal imports are raw silk. coffee, sugar, copra, cocoanut oil, burlap, newsprint paper, tea and bags.
The 1928 report of the U. S. Army Engineers shows that while foreign trade is important, it does not begin to approximate the enormous volume of domestic trade.

Besides the movement of commodities by water, there is a large rail traffic in San Francisco. Dur- ing 1929 it reached 250,737 carloadings in and out of the city, not including less-than-carload business.
San Francisco is also the ocean port for the great inland empire of California, 500 miles in length, 50 miles wide and containing 10,000,000 acres of fertile land, 5,000,000 acres of which is under irriga- tion. Approximately 45 per cent of the tonnage of the port is received from points on the Sacra- mento and San Joaquin Rivers, which drain a large portion of the "back country."
San Francisco is the port of call for 165 steamship lines. Of these 16 are intercoastal : 11 Oriental; 15 United Kingdom and continental Europe: 18 Mexico, Central and South America and Caribbean ; 6 Australasia : 7 coastwise; 1 Alaska ; 4 Hawaii; 3 round the world. The remainder are owned and operated by oil, lumber and fish interests.
San Francisco is served by three transcontinental railroads, which also operate north and south on the Pacific Coast and throughout the State of California.

The sales of these establishments amounted to $389,895,400. Including the salaried employees, proprie- tors and firm members, there were 5967 persons at work in the establishments and their annual sal- aries amounted to $10,219,400.

Following the automobile establishments, the largest sales were shown by 228 establishments engaged in the sale of building material; 134 wholesale and 94 retail, with total sales of $112,727,100.
FINANCIAL-San Francisco was created a financial center by the 1848 gold rush and has main- tained its position since. In 1849, $2,000,000 in gold was exported. Today it leads every city west of Chicago in bank clearings, bank deposits, stock and bond sales and insurance business. Is third to New York and Chicago in transactions over Stock Exchange. It is the headquarters of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District; has the fourth largest bank in the country and eight of her banks rank among the first hundred financial institutions of the nation. The figures following were furnshed by the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce statistical department after verification: Bank clearings in 1929 totaled 10,938,052,000, with only New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Detroit and Los Angeles, in the order named, surpassing San Francisco. The steady growth of San Francisco in the last five years is indicated by the bank clearings, as follows :

PARKS-With its limited area of forty-two square miles, and classed as one of America's most congested cities in the matter of population per square mile, San Francisco is noted for its beautiful and extensive parks. There are forty-six parks, with a total acreage of 3000, and several large parks are under construction. In addition to the municipal parks, the several government reservations, the largest of which is the Presidio, comprising 1542 acres, all go toward augmenting the aggregate area of the city parks. The area given above does not include the numerous golf courses in and about the city. More than $15,000,000 has been expended on municipal parks since 1870. All of San Francisco's parks are "man-made." Originally only sand dunes marked the spots where today are gardens of rarest flowers, shrubs and giant trees. Even lakes, streams, waterfalls, mountains, valleys and dales were worked out by man, to say nothing of the miles of walks, bridle paths and boulevards traversing the parks. Golden Gate Park is one of the world's most noted playgrounds. It comprises 1013 acres and is about 3 miles long and a half-mile wide, extending from Stanyan street on the east to the Pacific Ocean on the west and lies in the midst of San Francisco's choice residential districts, the Sunset and the Richmond.
In the park are many museums, monuments, an aviary, aquarium, music temple, stadium, tennis courts, baseball grounds. football grounds, trotting and pacing horse track, athletic field and running track paddocks, and children's playgrounds. There are more than 25 miles of improved driveways in the park. Wild animals of many species are to be seen, while every bird and squirrel known to Cali- fornia roams or flies at will through the dense woods and shrubbery. At the western end of the park is to be seen the sloop "Gjoa." the only vessel that ever navigated the Northwest Passage and which was given to San Francisco by its owner and explorer, Captain Roald Amundsen, discoverer of the South Pole also; the gift was accepted by San Francisco June 16, 1909. The ship was hauled up on the beach and is protected by a high iron fence.
