California counties in the San Francisco Bay Area. San Francisco is both a city and a county. Santa Cruz County and San Benito County are not geographic counties in the Bay Area, having no borders on San Francisco Bay, but are in the federal San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland, CA Combined Statistical Area.
San Francisco became a consolidated city-county in 1856. After three-quarters of the city was destroyed by the 1906 earthquake and fire, San Francisco (Spanish for Saint Francis) was quickly rebuilt, hosting the Panama-Pacific International Exposition nine years later.
