HAIGHT & ASHBURY, San Francisco CAL.
Although the hippie movement's effects were obvious all over the country, the 'headquarters' I guess you could say, was San Francisco, California. One of the more specific areas where hippies often gathered is the Haight-Asbury district in San Francisco. It's sort of the Mecca of the hippie movement. San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair) by Scott McKenzie is, in my opinion, the anthem of the movement's gravitation to the area during the 1960's.

Herb Caen, a San Francisco Chronicle newspaper columnist, coined the term "hippie" around 1962. The words "hip", "hep", and "hipster" were extant, but Caen was the first to write the word "hippie".In 1963 Caen mentioned in his column a bizarre Chevy van (1956) that had lots of swirly colors and what not, but also had the slogan, "Don't laugh, your daughter may be inside", written on the side, which elicited lots of laughs and finger pointings when seen on the streets of San Francisco. He called it a "crazy hippie van".
