Location and climate

The Mission District is located in east-central San Francisco. It borders on the east by the US 101 Route, which forms the boundary between the eastern part of the district, known as the "Inside Mission", and its eastern neighbor, Potrero Hill. Sanchez Street separates the neighborhood from the Eureka Valley (containing a sub-district known as "Castro") to the northwest and the Noe Valley to the southwest. Part of the neighborhood from Valencia Street to Sanchez Street, north of 20th Street, is known as the "Mission Dolores" neighborhood. South of 20th Street to 22nd Street, and between Valencia and Dolores Streets is a different neighborhood known as Liberty Hill. Cesar Chavez Street (formerly the Army Road) is the southern border; across from Cesar Chavez Street is the Bernal Heights neighborhood. The North of the Mission District is the South of Market area, roughly bordered by Duboce Avenue and the elevated elevated highway from Central Freeway which runs over 13th Street.

The main street of the Mission District is Mission Street. The South of the Mission District, along Mission Street, is an environment of Excelsior and Crocker-Amazon, sometimes referred to as "Outer Missions" (not to be confused with the actual Mission Mission neighborhood). The District of Mission is part of the San Francisco supervisor districts of 6, 9, and 10.

Missions are often warmer and brighter than other parts of San Francisco. The San Francisco microclimate creates a system in which each environment can have different weather at any given time, although this phenomenon tends to be less prominent during the winter months. Geographical location Mission isolates from fog and wind from the west. This climatic phenomenon becomes clear to visitors who walk downhill from 24th Street in the west from Noe Valley (where clouds from the Twin Peaks in the west tend to accumulate on a foggy day) to Mission Street in the east, partly because the Noe Valley is in the higher plains. while the inner Mission is at a lower altitude.

The mission includes four recognized sub-districts. The northeast quadrant, adjacent to Potrero Hill is known as a center for high-tech startup businesses including several chic bars and restaurants. The northwest quadrant along Dolores Street is famous for the popular Victorian mansion and Dolores Park on 18th Street. The two main commercial zones, known as the Valencia corridor (Valencia St., from around the 15th to the 22nd) and the 24th Street corridor known as the Calle 24 in the southern half of the Mission District are very popular destinations. for their restaurants, bars, galleries, and street life.

History

Spanish Indigenous and Spanish colonization

Prior to the arrival of Spanish missionaries, the area that now includes the Mission District is populated by Ohlone people who fill most of the San Francisco bay area. The Yelamu Indians inhabit this region for more than 2,000 years. Spanish missionaries arrived in the area at the end of the 18th century. They found these people living in two villages in Mission Creek. This is where a Spanish priest named Father Francisco PalÃƒÆ'Ã‚Â³u founded Mission San Francisco de Asis on 29 June 1776. The mission was moved from the beach of Laguna Dolores to its current location in 1783. The Franciscan brother reportedly used Ohlone slave labor to complete the Mission in 1791. This period marks the beginning of the end of your Yelamu culture. Indian residents in Mission Dolores fell from 400 to 50 between 1833 and 1841.

South San Francisco Expansion

Ranchos owned by Spanish-Mexican families such as Valenciano, Guerrero, Dolores, Bernal, NoÃƒ Â© Ã… Â© and De Haro continued in the area, separated from the city of Yerba Buena, later renamed San Francisco (centered around Portsmouth Square) by two people miles of wooden boardwalk (later paved and renamed Mission Street).

The land around the mission church that is almost abandoned becomes the focal point of rafish attractions including bull and bear battles, horse racing, baseball and duel. A famous beer resort known as The Willows is located along Mission Creek just south of 18th Street between Mission Street and San Carlos Street. From 1865 to 1891, a large conservatory and zoo known as Woodward's Gardens covered two city blocks bordered by Mission Street, Valencia Street, 13th Street, and 15th Street. In the decades after the Gold Rush, the city of San Francisco rapidly developed, and Mission land was developed and subdivided into housing patches for working class immigrants, mostly German, Irish and Italian, as well as for industrial use.

As the city grew in the decades after the Gold Rush, the Mission District became home to California's first professional baseball stadium, opened in 1868 and known as the Recreation Place, stationed 17,000 people located at Folsom and 25th Streets; some of the land remains like Garfield Square today. Also, in the 20th century, the Mission District was home to two other baseball stadiums, Recreational Parks located at the 14th stadium and Valencia and Seals located on the 16th and Bryant floors with both stadiums used by baseball teams named after the Mission District known as Mission Reds and San Francisco Seals.

Earthquake shocks and population

During the early California state period, in the 19th and 20th centuries, a large number of Irish and German immigrant workers moved into the area. Construction and settlement intensified after the earthquake of 1906, as many businesses and residents moved into the area, making Mission Street the main commercial highway. In 1926, the Polish community of San Francisco changed the church on 22nd Street and Shotwell Street and opened its doors as the Polish Club of San Francisco; it is called today as "Dom Polski", or Polish House. The Irish American community made its mark in the area during this time, with prominent residents such as etymologist Peter Tamony calling the Mission home. During the 1940-1960s, a large number of Mexican immigrants moved into the area - fleeing from the previous "Barrio Mexico" located at Rincon Hill to create a western landing of the Bay Bridge - embarked on a white flight, giving the Mission a very Chicano/Latin character that is well-known today. During the 1960s, Central American immigration has contributed to the presence of Central America that has exceeded Mexicans since the 1960s.

1970s-1990s

In the 1960s and 1970s, the Chicano/Latino population in the western part of the Mission (including the Valencia Corridor) declined and more middle-class youth moved, including gay and lesbian people (along with existing LGBTQ Latino populations). From the mid-1970s to the 1980s, the Valencia Street corridor was one of the most concentrated and visible lesbian environments in the United States. The Women's Building and The Lexington Club are part of that community.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s the Valencia Street corridor had a lively punk night life featuring bands of The Offs, The Avengers, Dead Kennedys, Flipper, and several clubs including The Offensive, The Deaf Club, Valencia Tool & amp; Die and The Farm. The former fire station on 16th Street, called Compound, uses what is commonly referred to as a "punk mall", a building that caters to the style and culture of punk. In South Van Ness, Targeted Videos and Damage are in a three-story warehouse. The former Hamms brewery was converted into a punk/rehearsal building, known as The Vats. The neighborhood was nicknamed "New Bohemia" by the San Francisco Chronicle in 1995.

In the 1980s and 1990s, the neighborhood received larger waves of immigrants and refugees from Central America, South America, the Middle East and even the Philippines and the former Yugoslavia, escaping civil wars and political instability at the time. These immigrants bring many Central American banks and companies that will set up branches, offices, and regional headquarters in Mission Street.

1990s-present

From the late 1990s to 2010, and especially during the dot-com boom, young urban professionals, moved to the area, started gentrification, raised rental and housing prices, with a number of middle-class Latin American families and artists moving into the area Outer Mission, or out of town completely to the suburbs of East Bay and the South Bay. Despite the rise in rental and housing prices, many Mexican and Central American immigrants continue to live in Missions, although the high rents and houses in the neighborhood have caused the Latino population to fall by 20% over the decade to 2011. However, in 2008 the Mission still had a reputation as a friendly artist. This mission remains the cultural center and epicenter of the San Francisco's Mexico/Chicano earthquake, and to a lesser extent, the communities of Nicaragua, Salvador and Guatemala in the Bay Area. While Mexican businesses, Salvador, and other Latin American businesses permeate the whole neighborhood, the dwellings are not evenly distributed. Residents of Chicano/Latino, mostly live on the east and south. The western and northern sides of the neighborhood are more prosperous and white. By 2017, the northern part of the Mission, along with the nearby Tenderloin, is home to the Maya-language community, comprised of immigrants who have arrived since the 1990s from the Mexican region of YucatÃƒÆ'Ã‚Â¡n. Their presence is reflected in the Mayan name in In Chan Kaajal Park, opened in 2017 north of 17th Street between Folsom and Shotwell Street.
