Golden Gate Bridge - The real "Golden Gate" is the strait that the bridge spans. It was first named "Chrysopylae," meaning "golden gate," by Captain John C. Fremont in 1846. The Golden Gate Bridge was the longest span in the world from its completion until the Verrazano Narrows Bridge was built in New York in 1964. Today, it still has the seventh-longest main span in the world.

This photo of the Golden Gate bridge was taken from the south end. Fort Point is shown below the south end of the bridge. Fort Point is located at the southern side of the Straits of the Golden Gate at the entrance to San Francisco Bay. During the American Civil War, a fort was built to defend the against passage of hostile warships. The fort is now protected as Fort Point National Historic Site, a U.S. National Historic Site administered by the National Park Service as a unit of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
The entrance to San Francisco Bay has long been the site of human habitation. The earliest residents of the area, ancestors of the Ohlone and Coast Miwok peoples, depended on the bay's waters for food and transportation. There is evidence from about 4,000 years ago of an Ohlone village located about a mile from Fort Point along the shore.
