The town that became San Francisco got its name from the wild mint (good herb) growing nearby The first European resident pitched his tent there in 1835.

The first mayor changed the town's name to San Francisco in 1848. Its 469 residents including Ohlone Indians, Americans, Spanish Californians, Hawaiians, Europeans, South Americans, and New Zealanders.

After James Marshall found gold at Sutter's Mill in 1848, the world poured into San Francisco. By 1852, the city swelled to almost 25,000 inhabitants.

The California gold rush transformed a fishing village into the internationally-famous city of San Francisco almost overnight. Today, San Francisco's 49 square miles are home to more than 800,000 people.

The popsicle came about completely by accident. In 1905, an 11-year-old boy living in the Bay Area was making a beverage by combining some powder and water in a cup. He left his drink outside overnight with the stirring stick still in it; the temperature dropped low enough that the mixture froze.

The young inventor, named Frank Epperson, patented his creation in 1923. The exact location of Epperson when he created the first popsicle is somewhere between Oakland and San Francisco.

History.com claims Oakland as its birthplace, while the Smithsonian and The New York Times believe it was in San Francisco.

Levi Strauss opened a dry goods store in San Francisco in 1853. And in 1873, Strauss, along with Jacob Davis, patented riveted pants, a.k.a blue jeans. The pair sold the new type of pants in Strauss’ San Francisco store, what is known today as Levi Strauss & Co.

Levi's has been worn by people from all walks of life, from miners to actors to Nobel Prize recipients, from Marlon Brando to Albert Einstein himself. Today, jeans are one of the top bought and worn pieces of apparel in the world!

Yup, you heard right, that beloved box that transmits your favorite tv shows to you home was invited in  in SF.

On September 7, 1927, the Image Dissector — the prototype camera developed by Philo Farnsworth — transmitted its first image, a simple straight line, at his laboratory at 202 Green Street in San Francisco.

Two years later, he sent the first image of a human, his wife, over the airwaves. Although he was the man responsible for its technology, Farnsworth appeared only once on a television program.

Golden Gate Bridge, suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate in California to link San Francisco with Marin county to the north.

Upon its completion in 1937, it was the tallest and longest suspension bridge in the world.

The Golden Gate Bridge came to be recognized as a symbol of the power and progress of the United States, and it set a precedent for suspension-bridge design around the world.

The world-renowned bridge is named for the Golden Gate Strait, the narrow, turbulent, 300-foot-deep stretch of water below the bridge that links the Pacific Ocean on the west to San Francisco Bay on the east.

The bridge's orange color was originally intended just as a primer.

The U.S. Navy had lobbied that the bridge be painted in blue and yellow stripes to increase its visibility. The Army Air Corps wanted candy cane red and white stripes. The signature International Orange hue was actually the color of the primer. But when the steel arrived in San Francisco painted in a burnt red hue as primer, the consulting architect decided the color was both highly visible—and more pleasing to the eye. The bridge's color is officially called international orange.

# data[].attributes.body
San Franciscans celebrated the opening of the Golden Gate Bridge with Pedestrian Day on May 27, 1937. As many as 200,000 people crossed the bridge that day. A number of “firsts” took place with people competing to be the first to run, roller skate, tap dance, ride a unicycle, play a harmonica, push a baby carriage, play a tuba, and cross on stilts. The bridge opened to vehicular traffic the following day.

America’s first national park.

Established by President Ulysses Grant on March 1, 1872.

At 3,472 square miles—over 2.2 million acres—Yellowstone is larger than the states of Rhode Island and Delaware combined.

The park is 96% in Wyoming, 3% in Montana, and 1% in Idaho. The name was taken from the Yellowstone River which flows through the park.

# data[].attributes.body
Known for their brown coats, curved horns and shaggy beards, bison are a central fixture on the Yellowstone landscape.  Yellowstone is the only place in the lower 48 states to have a continuously free-ranging bison population since prehistoric times.  In the early 1800’s, an estimated 65 million bison roamed throughout the continent of North America. However, market hunting and poaching had a devastating effect on the bison population; and by 1890, fewer than 1,000 remained.

Thanks to conservation efforts, bison were brought back from brink of extinction.  In 1902, there were only 23 bison in Yellowstone and today there are close to 5,000.

Bison are the largest land-dwelling animal in North America. A bull (male) can weigh up to 2,000 pounds; a cow (female) up to 1,000 pounds. A bison’s shoulder hump can peak at 6 feet tall. They can jump over objects up to 5 ft tall and can run up to 35 miles an hour.

Old Faithful may be more famous, but the Grand Prismatic Hot Spring is the most photographed thermal feature in Yellowstone. That's because of its crazy-bright colors and enormous size.

Grand Prismatic Spring is the largest hot spring in the United States, and the third largest in the world. At 370 feet in diameter it is bigger than a football field. A gridiron is 360 feet long and 160 feet wide. With a depth of 121 feet it can swallow up a 10-story building.

But why is it so colorful

Water at the center of the spring, which bubbles up  from underground chambers, can reach temperatures around 189 degrees Fahrenheit which makes it too hot to sustain most life. Because there's very little living in the center of the pool, the water looks extremely clear, and has a beautiful, deep-blue color (thanks to the scattering of blue wavelengths—the same reason oceans and lakes appear blue to the naked eye).

The rainbow spectrum of colors around the spring ranging from red to green is all thanks to the heat-loving bacteria that call the spring home.  As the water spreads out from the center and cools, it creates circles of varying temperatures—And each ring creates a very different environment inhabited by different types of bacteria. And it's the different types of bacteria that give the spring its prismatic colors.

Yellowstone is famous for its geysers and hot springs. The park contains approximately 500 geysers and more than half of the worlds’ active geysers. The world's most famous geyser, the Old Faithful Geyser, is in Yellowstone National Park. As the name suggests, the eruptions are rather predictable, with the standard interval being 94 minutes ± 10 minutes. The geyser averages an eruption of 130 feet (40 m), lasting 11/2–5 minutes, and expelling 3,700–8,400 gallons (14,000–31,800 L) of water.

Old Faithful was once called "Eternity's Timepiece" because of the regularity of its eruptions. However, this geyser never erupted at exact hourly intervals as many believe. Ranger Darlene Bos explains how we predict eruptions for this popular geyser. Additional filming by David Restivo and Jay Elhard.

Yellowstone doesn’t just have a volcano; Yellowstone is a volcano.  Not just a volcano but a super volcano. And it’s active.

A volcano is considered “super” if it has had at least one explosion that released more than 240 cubic miles of material— That’s enough material to bury the state of Texas five feet deep!

Yellowstone has had at least three such eruptions: 2.1 million years ago, 1.2 million years ago and 640,000 years ago.

Scientist are finding evidence that there may have been even more super eruptions, dating back as far as 12 million years ago. These eruptions are what shaped the beautiful landscape we see today.

South Dakota is in the Midwestern region of the United States. It is named after the Lakota and Dakota Sioux Native American tribes, who comprise a large portion of the population and historically dominated the territory.

As the southern part of the former Dakota Territory, South Dakota became a state on November 2, 1889, simultaneously with North Dakota. It was either the 39th or 40th state admitted to the union. Before signing the statehood papers, President Benjamin Harrison shuffled the papers so that no one could tell which became a state first.

Mount Rushmore features the faces of four American presidents: George Washington
Thomas Jefferson
Abraham Lincoln
Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt

The presidents were selected to represent the birth, growth, development and the preservation of America.

Construction began in 1927, and the presidents' faces were completed between 1934 and 1939. Each president was originally to be depicted from head to waist, but due to a lack of funding construction was ended in 1941, with only the faces complete.

About 400 men and women were involved in its carving. Among its workers, there were drillers, housekeepers, blacksmith and many more.

The structure is 60 feet tall.  The President’s eyes alone are said to be around 11 feet across. Initially, the team involved used drills and jackhammers to remove granite from the side of the mountain. With 450,000 tons of granite to be removed, chisels and jackhammers were not enough. The team introduced the use of dynamite. 90% of the granite removed from Mount Rushmore was by dynamite.

Dedicated on May 22nd in 1936, Dinosaur Park was one of America’s first dinosaur attractions. The park opened with five growling-grinning giants: a Brontosaurus, Apatosaurus, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, and Tyrannosaurus Rex, all life-size.

Not only do the dinosaur sculptures represent the creatures that inhabited western South Dakota, but they also reflect the way dinosaurs were viewed back in the 1930’s. The dinosaurs are all positioned with their tails dragging on the ground, which we have learned since then is incorrect.

The sculptures were made from concrete with iron-pipe frames, making them exceptionally sturdy.

The park now boasts 7 dinosaur sculptures with a Protoceratops and a Dimetrodon added in the 1950s.  One of the rare displays that encourages kids to climb the dinos, Dinosaur Park is very popular with the under 12 set, who really don’t care if the Brontosaurus has the wrong head, if it’s smiling.

Badlands National Park’s 244,000 acres protect an expanse of mixed-grass prairie. It is filled with picturesque wonderland of bizarre, colorful spires and pinnacles, massive buttes and deep gorges. These striking geologic deposits contain one of the world’s richest fossil beds. Ancient horses, camels and rhinos once roamed here.

Today the park is full of bison, bighorn sheep, prairie dogs, and black-footed ferrets.

If you are trying to get people to visit a National Park, why would you call it “Bad”?

The name is an homage to people that lived in the Badlands before it was a national park. For hundreds of years, the Lakota people have called this area mako sica, which literally translates to “bad lands.”

The land presented many challenges to those living and travel in the area. When it rains in the Badlands, the wet clay becomes slick and sticky, making it very difficult to cross. The jagged canyons and buttes that cover the landscape also make it hard to navigate.

The winters are cold and windy, the summers are hot and dry. It is these same conditions that made it the beautiful park it is today.

New Orleans is famous around the world for its Mardi Gras celebrations. While the name Mardi Gras means Fat Tuesday, the celebrations are about a month long.

Parades are a huge part of the festivities. The first first Mardi Gras parade was held in New Orleans on Feb. 24, 1857 and there have been nearly 2,000 Mardi Gras parades since then.

Each parade has their own theme taken from history, children's stories, legends, geography, famous people, entertainment, mythology and literature. All the floats are decorated to fit the theme and every year the krewe picks a new theme.

It is a Mardi Gras tradition that the riders on the floats throw out festive items to the crowd. That can include beaded necklaces, toys, cups and doubloons (colorful aluminum coins stamped with the parade organization and theme) or other trinkets.

The world-famous Louisville Slugger baseball bat was created by John Andrew “Bud” Hillerich in Louisville in 1884.

Legend is Bud, an apprentice in his father’s woodworking shop, headed out one spring afternoon to take in a Louisville Eclipse game, the city’s major league team. After seeing Eclipse superstar Pete Browning break his bat that day, Bud invited Browning over to his father's shop where he offered to make him a new bat. With Browning at his side giving advice, Bud hand-crafted a new bat from a long slab of wood. Browning debuted the bat the very next day. He snapped his slump, collecting a trio of hits and setting in motion a chain of events whose effects are felt still today.

The Louisville Slugger Museum is home to the world’s biggest bat. At 68,000 pounds and 120-feet tall, it’s an exact-scale replica of Babe Ruth’s 34-inch Louisville Slugger bat.

The melody to ‘Happy Birthday to You’ dates back to the 1890s, when Louisville schoolteacher Patty Hill and her sister, Mildred, composed a song that would be simple enough to sing with Patty’s kindergarten students. The original lyrics that accompanied the familiar ‘Happy Birthday’ tune were:

Good morning to you
Good morning to you
Good morning dear teacher,
Good morning to all

Using the same melody, her kindergarten students would sometimes swap in different lyrics, including the ‘Happy Birthday’ lyrics we know today.

Earthquake - The abrupt shaking of the ground caused by a shift of rock along a fracture in the Earth.

- Hot springs that periodically erupt, shooting scalding water and steam into the air. Though hot springs can be common, the special requirements needed for a geyser to erupt make them rare. In addition to hot water, a unique conduit system or natural "plumbing" system is needed for pressure to build and yet withstand the force of eruptions. A narrow constriction above a larger reservoir chamber allows water to become superheated above the boiling point without boiling. In Yellowstone, the cracks and fissures underground that make up the plumbing system of geysers are lined with silica that the hot water has dissolved out of rhyolite rock and redeposited along the inner walls of fissures. This glass-like lining creates a watertight seal that allows pressure to build within the conduit and produce geyser eruptions.

Ground deformation - Change of shape of the ground surface due to an applied force, such as pressure caused by the movement of magma, volcanic gases, or volcanic fluids.

- A spring that is produced by the emergence of heated groundwater from within the Earth.

Mount St. Helens - An active volcano in the Cascade Range in southwestern Washington in the United States. Its last major eruption was in 1980 and it has had periods of some additional volcanic activity since.

- An acidic hot spring with a limited supply of water and large amount of hydrogen sulfide gas. Microorganisms convert gas into acid that dissolves nearby rock into clay. This clay then mixes with the hot water to create mud. Escaping gases cause the mud to bubble.

Steam vent - A vent from which volcanic gas escapes into the atmosphere. They can be some of the hottest hydrothermal features in the park. They have so little water that it boils and flashes to steam before reaching the surface. They often hiss loudly. Also called a fumarole.

Supervolcano - A volcano that has an eruption of magnitude 8 on the Volcano Explosivity Index, meaning that more than 1,000 cubic kilometers (240 cubic miles) of magma (partially molten rock) are erupted. Supervolcanoes are the largest volcanoes on Earth. Two of Yellowstone's last three major eruptions meet this criteria.

Volcano - A volcano is a vent at the Earth's surface through which magma (molten rock) and associated gases erupt. It is also the name for the cone built by effusive and explosive eruptions. Yellowstone is such a large volcano that it does not have a distinct cone but rather has raised the elevation of the region approximately 1700 feet higher than surrounding areas.

Yellowstone Volcano Observatory - A partnership among the U.S. Geological Survey, Yellowstone National Park, and University of Utah to strengthen the long-term monitoring of volcanic and earthquake unrest in the Yellowstone National Park region. The Yellowstone Volcano Observatory is one of the five U.S. Geological Survey volcano observatories that monitor volcanoes within the United States for science and public safety.
