San Francisco, Capital city in San Francisco Peninsula, California.

San Francisco spans 46.9 square miles at the northern end of a peninsula, bordered by the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay.

The 1849 California Gold Rush transformed San Francisco from a small settlement into a major port city with rapid population growth.

The city contains multiple neighborhoods with distinct identities, including North Beach, Chinatown, and the Mission District, each reflecting different cultural traditions.

The San Francisco Municipal Railway operates buses, light rail vehicles, and historic cable cars throughout the city's streets and hills.

The Department of Elections manages voting processes for over 500 precincts across the city through a consolidated city-county government system.
