San Francisco lies on the coast of

San Francisco lies on the coast of Northern California. The earliest Europeans to discover the area were led by a Spanish explorer whose name was Gaspar de Portola.
He first saw it in 1769. Surprisingly, although San Francisco Bay is a wonderful natural harbor, it was discovered by land rather than by sea.
In 1849, people arrived in San Francisco in their thousands hoping to find gold. However, it was not the men looking for the gold that got rich. The richest people made their money from owning banks and law firms and they built themselves large houses on one of the hills. This was known as Nob Hill.
Nowadays, tourists are attracted to San Francisco because there they can see famous places like Chinatown and the Golden Gate Bridge. Many even take the short boat trip to the island of Alcatraz to see the former prison.
