Description
“Presidio in 1900” Print.
The second location of the “Ever-Changing: San Francisco” collection, as it might have appeared in 1900.
In the two centuries after the snapshot of 1700, the Spanish missionaries and colonists arrived, enslaving the indigenous Yelamu, and Ohlone peoples throughout the Bay Area, onto missions. Violence, poor conditions, and disease led to a sharp reduction in their population at the hands of the Spanish. Of the original Ramaytush Ohlone population of 1500 to 2000 persons, only a few families survived the Mission Period. The Spanish established the Presidio as a military fort (to guard against other colonizing countries and exert control over their claims), with the grounds continuing to exist into the Mexican period, and with the United States. The Presidio remained an active military property through 1900 and well beyond. In 1900, it operated as a base for U.S. soldiers leaving for, and returning from, the Spanish American War in the Philippines, as the U.S. continued its imperial conquests. Farmers worked east of the military boundary, and settlers began to fill the tideflats. Can you imagine where the Golden Gate Bridge might be built in a few decades?
