    A History of the Presidio

montgomeryst620x390
Early History
Native Americans have called northern California region home for nearly 10,000 years. Before the arrival of the Europeans, the indigenous Ohlone/Costanoan people seasonally occupied villages in what is now the San Francisco peninsula and gathered shellfish along the Presidio’s bayshore. Archaeologists have located a shell mound in the Crissy Field area that dates back to A.D. 740. Important archaeological investigations continue in the Presidio to better understand this period. Today, descendants of the Ohlone/Costanoan people live throughout the Bay Area.
Spanish Imperial Outpost (1776 to 1821)
From 1776 to 1821, the Presidio was the Spanish empire’s northernmost military outpost and guarded California’s largest harbor from occupation by other European powers including Russia and Britain. The original colonists were 193 soldiers and their families from Sonora and Sinaloa in northern Mexico. Founded in conjunction with nearby Mission San Francisco de Asis (Mission Dolores), the Presidio was a place where native peoples encountered European and mixed-race colonists.
After an earthquake in 1812, the Presidio was rebuilt and its adobe quadrangle doubled in size. The Mesa and de Anza rooms of the Presidio Officers’ Club probably date from this rebuilding. Presidio soldiers and their families spent most of their time farming and ranching at this distant outpost.
Mexican Frontier (1822 to 1846)
In 1821, Mexico declared its independence from Spain. It took a year for the news to reach Alta California. There was no change in personnel when the Presidio changed from Spanish to Mexican sovereignty. In 1835, General Mariano Vallejo shifted Mexican forces further north to the plaza at Sonoma, and a caretaker was left in charge of the Presidio.
U.S. Army Post (1846 to 1994)
In 1846, during the Mexican-American War that was triggered by a border dispute in Texas, the 7th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment occupied the crumbling adobes at the Presidio. The U.S. Regular Army took over the post the following year.
Post to Park (1994-present)
In 1972, the Presidio of San Francisco – then an active installation – was included within the boundaries of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. On October 1, 1994, after the post became excess to military needs, it was transferred to the National Park Service.
