San Francisco's Nob Hill (Images of America)

San Francisco's Nob Hill (Images of America)

More than a neighborhood, San Franciscoâ€™s Nob Hill encapsulates some of the major elements of the cityâ€™s history. Early European settlersâ€™ cattle grazed on the windy hill, and with the Gold Rush of 1849, it became a lookout point as ships arrived daily, bringing thousands to San Francisco. Within the next 40 years, the moguls of the Central Pacific Railroad, along with other magnates, built spectacular residences atop Nob Hill, which became a focal point of San Francisco. Today Nob Hill is home to elegant hotels, a cathedral, and a variety of residents. It remains a center of activity in a legendary city.
