San Francisco was the port and jumping off point to the route to Sacramento. The gold camps were above Sacramento so ships docked and people took the Sacramento River up to Sacramento. San Francisco was a Spanish settlement at first and the gold rush changed it into a wild open city of bars, sailors, gold seekers, prostitutes, and gangs. People bought supplies there and moved on to seek gold, but some stayed and the city grew. Ships were abandoned in the bay as the passengers and crew left for gold. Large banks came to the city to handle the gold and business grew. As the state grew so did San Francisco.
