San Francisco

City and County of San Francisco (IPA: [sæn fɹænsɪsko]) was one of the most populous cities in California. It was located on the tip of the San Francisco Peninsula in the United States and is the focal point of the San Francisco Bay Area.

In 1776, the Spanish settled the tip of the San Francisco peninsula, establishing a fort at the Golden Gate and a mission named for Francis of Assisi. The California Gold Rush in 1848 propelled the city into a period of rapid growth. After being devastated by the 1906 earthquake and fire, San Francisco was quickly rebuilt. With the advent of the Tiberium age and the evolution of Tiberium in the 2040s, the city was gradually overrun by Tiberium, becoming a hostile Red Zone. The Golden Gate bridge survived the growth of the element and stands as a monument to the once great city.
