San Francisco is a major seaport, which is considered to be a gateway to The Golden State, California. A very interesting portrait of early California can be drawn from reading a book titled "Two Years before the Mast" by Richard Henry Dana, Jr. Dana Point, California was subsequently named in his honor. Pictures do not do the place justice.

Check out this source for the name Golden Gate:

<a href="http://goldengatebridge.org/research/facts.php#Name" rel="nofollow">goldengatebridge.org/research/facts.php#Name</a>

It is generally accepted that the strait was named "Chrysopylae", or Golden Gate, by John C. Fremont, Captain, topographical Engineers of the U.S. Army circa 1846. It reminded him of a harbor in Istanbul named Chrysoceras or Golden Horn.

The park is named for the strait that connects the bay to the Pacific Ocean. The bay, in turn, was named by John Fremont in 1846.
