San Francisco is California’s fourth-largest city and is a county unto itself as well. It began growing to prominence during the Gold Rush that began in 1848. The city hosts a broad range of commercial, maritime, and public enterprise, including shipping terminals that serve vessels from around the world. “High tech” and biotech companies abound in the San Francisco Bay Area, with the city serving as the region’s financial and cultural capital. Nearly 30 percent of the world’s biotechnology labor force works in the region, thus adding the term the “Bionic Bay” to the already well-known “Silicon Valley.”
San Francisco is a prime destination for tourists. Nearly 20 million people have visited the city in a given recent year. Popular attractions include Fisherman's Wharf; Alcatraz; Pier 39; Golden Gate Park; The Presidio, Palace of the Legion of Honor; The Exploratorium; The Embarcadero; the San Francisco Zoo; AT&T Park (home of the Giants baseball team); Union Square; and yerba Buena Center.
