Explore the history of early San Francisco through the voices and stories of Jewish immigrants. The city’s growth was spurred by the gold rush, which attracted immigrants and migrants from across the world and country. San Francisco’s early Jewish community played a major role in the development of the new city, through contributions to technological innovation, cultural life, and civic participation. Learn their stories, and that of other communities, in our resources and videos about San Francisco history from 1850–1880.
