"The Rock" and San Francisco
The Golden Gate is the strait connecting San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean. The strait is approximately eight kilometers long and between 1.6 and three kilometers wide. On 1 July 1846, before the discovery of gold in California, the entrance acquired a new name. In his memoirs, John C. Frémont wrote, "To this Gate I gave the name of "Chrysopylae", or "Golden Gate"; for the same reasons that the harbor of Byzantium was called Chrysoceras, or Golden Horn." Since 1937 it has been spanned by the Golden Gate Bridge.
