Leutenant José Joaquín Moraga is interred at the San Francisco de Asís church in 1791. As you visit the church, it can be seen.

The Spanish began colonizing Alta California with the Portolá expedition of 1769-1770. The two-pronged Portolá effort involved both a long sea voyage against prevailing winds and the California Current, and a difficult land route from Baja California.

Just saying: Moraga was the lieutenant of Juan Bautista de Anza, who led an expedition to California.

Jose Joaquin Moraga, a lieutenant in the Spanish military, was tasked with establishing the Presidio of San Francisco in 1776. The Presidio was a military fort that served as a base for Spanish exploration and settlement in northern California.

Visiting the church, the museum, one finds the history forgotten prior to 1850. But look.

Thank you for all the information on San Francisco. Love that, it's my favorite city in California. I first visited in 1985,when I was 25 yrs. old. I went to the Polk St. area as that's where I stayed. I don't think I went to the Castro St. , except to drive through it. In 1992,Imoved to a small Northern coastal California twon,3 hrs. North of San Francisco. I was able visit 3 or more times a year. I felt so free to be in the Castro, and loved hanging out there. Twin Peaks was my favorite bar. I didn't know the Gay bars in North beach. I didn't know about the many Lesbian bars either.

Genetics and that is that! My wife is 74 years old and without makeup she looks like she is in her 30’s.

My grandmother worked in Grayson’s lingerie department in the 1950s. I don’t know if it was the Market Street or Mission Street store.

Lost Department Stores? San Francisco has lost good taste 😢

This information is awesome but it would be easier to follow if you had a mouse pointer to point at details you're talking about.

So crazy I lived my whole life on the corner of 14th mission never knew this park/garden/zoo was there back then in in the late 1800s

Jasper O'Farrell had a massive rancho in west Sonoma County. A road off of hwy 12 before the town of Freestone heading west incorporates part of the name of his Rancho, Rancho Cañada de Jonive, where it was ...Jonive Rd. So I'm guessing that was his driveway or lane.....Enjoy! Kurt in SAnta Rosa, Ca.

Are you fucking kidding me with this shit fuckin video

I worked in the wonderful City of Paris department when Madame Verdier was the owner. It was a marvelous building that was razed and then replaced by the very lamentable Neumann Marcus store. designed I believe by Philip Johnson. What a treasure it was and what a desecration that it was torn down. I would stand at the edge of the round rotunda balcony and look down on the glove department staffed by ancient, but very elegant, ladies who fitted long gloves on equally elegant customers.. The world does not get better. This elegance was open to me a young girl from a working class background.

Ah, Thats a lot of “ahs”

That was a wonderful presentation. Thanks!

All of this time no one saw any previous constructions of 'ancient Tartarians' or anyone else.

The garbled vocalization stops @4:43...

Americas most gorgeous city. Too bad it’s just a place for the rich and the homeless now. Family life gone. Not when I grew up there. No more Black cultural presence because the people have been pushed out and all of us were NOT poor on public assistance. We moved to the suburbs or out of state. Not our loss but the city of SF lost gems when we left. And stop calling us blacks, we are Black people or African Americans. Thank you.

No Mexican California before 1849??????

1st on the list....Steal land from Mexico

As of yet, I do not understand the references to Point Lobos relative to San Francisco, the "line of sight", and Pacifica?

San Francisco is one of those cities you can fall in love with . With NY it takes a while. With SF, it's love at first sight.

The Millenium Tower engineers only dropped one anchor.

Who found the Bay Area? Oh no let’s just ignore the all the natives that lived there for millenia

The city was already built out when we got there ! Stop the CHARADE!

Oh yeah’s got a great tier first half of this season

My brother and I, born in San Francisco, moved to San Carlos when in was 3 in 1960..but every year we went to the Emporium rooftop Christmas, and visited Santa.. and when my kids were little in the 90s we Got to bring them there once , great memories ...still have my Santa photo, my Brother and I, I was about 4, on Santa's Lap there.. one of my prized possessions

This is white history. Im white, but this is such an insult! Its not true at all that there was nothing here. There was an an entire tribe, Ramaytush, part of the Ohlone people, or Costanoan (depending on who you ask) that had occupied the Sf and Monterey Bay. Native Californians should be angry at this false history.

I think LONG before the Spsnish ever figured out how to get here by crossing the Atlantic, I have high reason to suspect that Asians had found us centuries sooner, probably through Siberia. To anyone with ADHD, this video is tollerable of you play it at 1.23x speed.

This is some white people shit

My grandmother answered the phones at the Emporium when I was a kid. I think she did this for about 10 years in the early 70's. You are the first person to mention the rides on the roof. Someone told me I was remembering Stonestown but I kept thinking it was downtown. Wasn't there a Ferris Wheel up there? I was young so my memory may be incorrect.

Now tell us how they ruined the city in the last 30 years...

I was a Christmas wrapper at the White House. Bought my first Louis Vuitton purse at I. Magnin for $199. Design hasn't changed so now handbag is $4,000. Bought my wedding dress at Joseph Magnin. Loved Emporium bargain basement and cafeteria. Christmas was special on the Emporium rooftop. Loved Woolworth's both upstairs and downstairs cafeteria. Used to eat at Blums's and Mannings too. Bought our first black and white T.V. at Hales Department Store. There was Leed's and Lerner's store and Kress store on Market Street. All gone.😭

Very interesting history of San Fransisco. Thank you for sharing it.

The story of the HMS Setleg is really interesting. The closest Alcatraz came to firing on a foreign ship in October of 1963.

Six hundred to 8 hundred years old,,easy

All this sounds plausible, but I firmly believe San Francisco is 1600 years old and they always knew about the gold. There's nothing new under the sun. We didn't build this city after. We came out here to mine for gold no way

Many old maps show California as an island 16 1700s this could be an explanation

I remember the City of Paris and Ransohoff and the White House. My father was the head a advertising at Weinsteins in 60s?

yes yes yes I. Magnin bathroom...and as a child roof rides at Emporium at Stonestown.

Does anyone remember a dept store on Ocean decades ago? Think it was called Get or Goetz. We used to buy all of our Catholic school uniforms at that store. At the western end of the store on the second floor was the toy department. Does anyone recall the store?

1:06:43 This also should have been the perfect time for the city to preserve and control the existing rivers south of san francisco. it really would have prevented future fires from raising most of the city and allowed residents clean affordable drinking water instead of importing it.
