Located immediately south of San Francisco, it is titled in honor of businessman and landowner John Daly.
Archaeological evidence suggests the San Francisco Bay Area has been inhabited as early as 2700 BC. People of the Ohlone language group occupied Northern California from at least the 6th century.[verification needed] Although their territory had been claimed by Spain since the early 16th century, they would have mostly little contact with Europeans until 1769, when, as part of an accomplishment to colonize Alta California, an exploration party led by Don Gaspar de Portola learned of the existence of San Francisco Bay. Seven years later, in 1776, an expedition led by Juan Bautista de Anza chose the site for the Presidio of San Francisco, which Jose Joaquin Moraga would soon establish.
Later the same year, the Franciscan missionary Francisco Palou established the Mission San Francisco de Asis (Mission Dolores). As part of the founding, the priests claimed the territory south of the mission for sixteen miles for raising crops and for fodder for cattle and sheep. In 1778, the priests and soldiers marked out a trail to connect San Francisco to the rest of California. At the top of Mission Hill, the priests titled the gap between San Bruno Mountain and the hills on the coast La Portezuela ("The Little Door"). La Portezuela was later referred to as Daly's Hill, the Center of Daly City, and is now called Top of the Hill. During Spanish rule, the region between San Bruno Mountain and the Pacific remained uninhabited. Upon independence from Spain, prominent Mexican people were granted territory parcels to establish large ranches, three of which veiled areas now in Daly City and Colma. Rancho Buri Buri was granted to Jose Sanchez in 1835 and veiled 14,639 acres (59.24 km2) including parts of modern-day Colma, Burlingame, San Bruno, South San Francisco, and Millbrae. Rancho Laguna de la Merced was 2,219 acres (8.98 km2) acres and veiled the region around a lake of the same name. The third ranch covering parts of the Daly City Colma region was titled Rancho Canada de Guadalupe la Visitacion y Rodeo Viejo and stretched from the Visitacion Valley region in San Francisco, to the town/city of South San Francisco covering 5,473 acres (22.15 km2). The several remaining families switched to dairy and cattle farming as a more profitable enterprise. In the late 19th century as San Francisco interval and San Mateo County was established, Daly City also gradually interval including homes and schools along the lines for the Southern Pacific barns . Daly City served as a locale where San Franciscans would cross over county lines to gamble and fight. As tensions assembled in approach to the American Civil War, California was divided between pro-slavery, and Free Soil promotes.
On the morning of April 18, 1906 a primary earthquake hit just off the coast of Daly City near Mussel Rock. After quake and subsequent fire finished many San Franciscans homes, they left to temporary housing on the ranches of the region to the south, including the large one owned by John Daly. Daly had come to the Bay Area in 1853 where he had worked on a dairy farm, and after a several years married his bosses' daughter and acquired 250 acres (1.0 km2) at the Top of the Hill area.
Over the years Daly's company grew, as did his political clout. When a flood of refugees from the quake came, Daly and other small-town farmers donated milk and other food items. Daly later subdivided his property, from which a several housing tracts emerged. This, combined with the fear of annexation by San Francisco and being ignored by San Mateo County, whose seat far to the south left inhabitants feeling ignored, created a demand for incorporation.
Vista Grande would have spanned from the Pacific to the Bay, with San Francisco as its northern border and South San Francisco and the old Rancho Buri Buri as its southern border.
The proposal was rejected over the scope of the prepared city, which was too broad for many residents. The initial proposal also revealed rifts in the improve among the various regions, including the region around the cemeteries, who were excluded from further plans of incorporation. On January 16, 1911, an incorporation committee filed a petition with San Mateo County supervisors to incorporate the City of Daly City.
The town/city would run from San Francisco along the San Bruno Hills until Price and School streets with San Francisco and west to the summit of the San Bruno Hills.
