San Francisco Was Built On 7 Hills
Another misconception that we’d like to bust is the one that says San Francisco was established on seven hills. Many people equate this city to others like Athens and Rome, which were also built on seven hills.
The truth is that it’s located on approximately 49 designated hills (some would say there are only 48 hills). One reason the other 42 are lesser-known tourist attractions is that most lack titles. There are about seven hills that immediately come to mind when one thinks of San Francisco, including Telegraph Hill, Nob Hill, and Russian Hill.
But besides these seven hills, there are also several less famous neighborhoods, including Rincon Hill, First Hill, and Corona Heights, as well as around 40 or some others.
