San Francisco - USA
The City and County of San Francisco is the fourth most populous city in California and the fourteenth-most populous in the United States. In 1776, the Spanish settled the tip of the San Francisco peninsula, establishing a fort at the Golden Gate and a mission named for Francis of Assisi.
