Fisherman’s Wharf is a popular tourist spot and neighborhood in the City of San Francisco, California. It is a neighborhood encompassing the northern waterfront of San Francisco from Ghirardelli Square to Van Ness Avenue. The Ghirardelli Square east part of Pier 35 is geographically known as Kearny Street. Fisherman’s Wharf got its name from the characters from the early days of the mid to later 1800s when Italian immigrants and fishermen came to the city to take advantage of the large population due to the gold rush. From then until the day on, Fisherman’s Wharf has been the spot for local delicacies and Dungeness crab and has also been the center of operations in San Francisco’s fishing fleet.
