The San Francisco Bay Area has a long, rich history, from the native Ohlone inhabitants through claims by Spain and Mexico, to the Gold Rush leading California to statehood in 1850. The area has held key strategic and commercial value ever since, and its diverse tapestry of people, culture, and food makes it a must-visit for anyone traveling the western US.
