San Francisco had been a major California city since 1850 (California statehood), the California "Gold Rush" occurred in 1849. By the 1930's SF was still a large city, but was growing quickly due to the presence of the USN at Mare Island, Hunter's Point, and with naval construction facilities (ship building) across the bay (Marin County).
