The formation of San Francisco as a significant cultural center
The founders of Frisco (this is how the Americans themselves call it so often) were missionaries who belonged to the Monastic Order of the Franciscans.
They arrived in the places where the city is now spread out in 1776. Initially, he, like the whole of California, belonged to Mexico, and he went to the United States only after the war between these countries, which ended in 1846.
At that time, San Francisco was only a small settlement, and it is quite possible that he would have remained further, if not for the “gold fever”, the center of which he became in the second half of the 19th century.
It led to a multiple increase in the population of the city and its transformation into a very significant economic and cultural center, which it is today.
