After being Established by Spanish colonists in 1776, the city`s true population boost came during the 1849 California Gold Rush, causing an immense rapid growth. Experiencing one of the greatest fires in history during the 1906 earthquake, the city was very quickly rebuilt towards hosting the Panama-Pacific International Exposition world fair as to later serve a port of embarkation to the Pacific Theater during World War II. The returning servicemen causing a massive immigration wave and liberalization had later funneled to spark the main scene for the hippie movement`s Summer of Love to establish the San Francisco of today, as the center of liberal activism.
