January 11, 2013 San Francisco’s City Hall is flood-lit in honor of the 49ers football team.
The red and gold colors of the team allude to the California Gold Rush (1848–1855) which began on January 24, 1848.
By the beginning of 1849, word of the Gold Rush had spread around the world.
An overwhelming number of gold-seekers and merchants began to arrive from virtually every continent.
