Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Establishment of Municipal Government in San Francisco The events associated with the establishment of a municipal government in San Francisco extend over three quarters of a century, from the foundation of the Spanish pueblo, in 177 6, to the adoption of the city charter passed by the first legisla ture of the State of California, in 1851. Within this time it is possible to observe three somewhat clearly defined periods. The first is the period of Spanish settlement and stagnation; the second is the period of transition, extending from the Conquest to the adoption of the charter of 1850; the third period ends with the adoption of the charter of 1851.
