| Friday 20 Jan 2012: Golden Gate |
| It wasn't until the 1840s that the entrance to San Francisco Bay got its present name, Golden Gate. Until then it was just known as "La Boca del Puerto de San Francisco". It is believed the new name was coined by John C. Frémont in his memoirs, as the area reminded him of the Golden Horn in Istanbul. |
