Angus Macfarlane
The settlement and development of the San Francisco Bay area has a long and complicated history, featuring numerous conflicting claims between Native Americans, Spanish and Mexican settlers, American and European immigrants, as well as the governments of the United States, Russia, and Great Britain. With wit and wisdom, Angus Macfarlane will simplify the complex story that resulted in a transition from the tiny Pueblo of Yerba Buena, through the Van Ness Ordinance of 1856 to bring legal order and taxing structure to the previous chaos.
The only thing that Angus Macfarlane enjoys more than studying San Francisco’s arcane, abstruse, and forgotten history is sharing these treasures with the world. This is one of his deep dives, and his revelations will impress you. Angus has spoken at SFHS meetings in the past and written articles published in The Argonaut. He is researching the history of the Haight-Ashbury prior to the 1967 Summer of Love.

Jasper O'Farrell had a massive rancho in west Sonoma County. A road off of hwy 12 before the town of Freestone heading west incorporates part of the name of his Rancho, Rancho Cañada de Jonive, where it was ...Jonive Rd. So I'm guessing that was his driveway or lane.....Enjoy! Kurt in SAnta Rosa, Ca.
Who found the Bay Area? Oh no let’s just ignore the all the natives that lived there for millenia
Let' ignore all the natives in Europe that all the foreign invaders want to displace.
Many old maps show California as an island 16 1700s this could be an explanation
I think the island of california must have existed it obviously sank. It's really hard to tell with the baja , california , but it had to have sunk into the ocean as hard as I does to believe
This is white history. Im white, but this is such an insult! Its not true at all that there was nothing here. There was an an entire tribe, Ramaytush, part of the Ohlone people, or Costanoan (depending on who you ask) that had occupied the Sf and Monterey Bay. Native Californians should be angry at this false history.
BOO HOO! Did he hurt your feelings, Precious?
What an ignorant comment. @@sluttycouncil7059

This also should have been the perfect time for the city to preserve and control the existing rivers south of san francisco.
it really would have prevented future fires from raising most of the city and allowed residents clean affordable drinking water instead of importing it.
FWIW - I think you mean "raze". VERY different. 😃
Who owned land that included Buenal Heights in San Francisco, beginning in the mid-1800's, a history of the area.
As they say, search engines are your friend.
As of yet, I do not understand the references to Point Lobos relative to San Francisco, the "line of sight", and Pacifica?
No Mexican California before 1849??????
Yeah, Baja (lower) California. Aren't you paying attention?
Genetics and that is that! My wife is 74 years old and without makeup she looks like she is in her 30’s.

I think LONG before the Spsnish ever figured out how to get here by crossing the Atlantic, I have high reason to suspect that Asians had found us centuries sooner, probably through Siberia.
To anyone with ADHD, this video is tollerable of you play it at 1.23x speed.
If the Native Siberians had a written language, and managed to preserve their writings, things would have been MUCH different (IMHO). It’s very difficult to know the history of California before the Spanish and Russians settled here because the Spanish and Russians had writing. I believe some Central and South American cultures had writing, but I don’t think it’s been translated.
There are still ancient European written languages that haven’t been deciphered, but most of them have been. Unfortunately, most of the writing was either accounting or tributes to leaders - not much history. And the writings we DO have are mostly thanks to Christian monks and Islamic scholars who copied texts century after century.
We may yet discover writings made by the original Americans AND AI might be able to translate it!
Now tell us how they ruined the city in the last 30 years...
WHO is "they", Dummy ???
Have you figured that out yet ??? 😮
Ruined? Most people would love to be there. Every city has problems because capitalism always causes extreme wealth and poverty.
Mcomplete and total corruption mixed with complete and total incompetence
All this sounds plausible, but I firmly believe San Francisco is 1600 years old and they always knew about the gold. There's nothing new under the sun. We didn't build this city after. We came out here to mine for gold no way
So who purchased 440 underwater lots and why did the Irish Americans have to move all of that sand? And, how do you know it was the Asians and not the African c who discovered, founded and named San Francisco, San Francisco?
I'm interested in your view of history. Do tell.
What in your research has given you the firm belief that San Francisco was founded in the year 424 CE? 1600 years old, really? And, who is "they" in your reference to knowing about the gold?
Six hundred to 8 hundred years old,,easy
