Several centuries before Christ, the Keltic tribe of the Parisii settled on a small island on the river Seine (the famous Île de la cité).
Centuries later, Romans named the place Lutèce. The city started its expansion on the left bank of the Seine.
Only later did Paris become the capital of the kingdom.
Whilst being at the heart of a long and tumultuous period of invasions, wars and revolutions, Paris has always been a jewel of culture, creativity and taste.

Several millenia before Christ, the Indian tribe of the Ohlone settled in the Bay Area.
In 1579, Francis Drake entered a foggy area surrounded by cliffs and dubbed the place Nova Albion.
In 1769, Spaniards discovered the entrance to the bay, settled in 1776 and built El Presidio and La misión de San Francisco de Asis.
In January 1848, a lucky guy found gold and triggered the famous (infamous?:) rush.
In 1906 and 1989, the city experienced disastrous earthquakes and showed the world how hard and quick it can get back up on its feet.
