Prehistory
San Andreas Fault
San Andreas Fault in the Bay Area
Mission San Jose (Ohlone) people
  • The San Andreas Fault (pictured) begins to form in the mid Cenozoic about 30 million years ago
  • 9.5 million years ago, the Moraga Volcanics produces most of the lavas that underlie the East Bay ridges from present day Tilden Regional Park to Moraga
  • During the Quaternary glaciation beginning 2.58 million years ago, the basin that will be filled by the bay is a large linear valley with small hills, similar to most of the valleys of the Coast Ranges. The rivers of the Central Valley run out to sea through a canyon that will become the Golden Gate. As the ice sheets melt, sea levels rise 300 feet (91 m) over the next 4,000 years, and the valley fills with water from the Pacific.
  • Evidence of human occupation of California dates from at least 17,000 BCE.
  • The Ohlone people (pictured) inhabit the Bay Area region as early as 6,000 years ago, with a 1770 estimated population of 10,000–20,000
  • The Coast Miwok inhabit the Sonoma region as early as 4,000 years ago, with a 1770 estimated population of 2,000
  • The Patwin people inhabit the northern Bay region as early as 1,500 years ago, with a 1770 estimated population of 12,000
  • The Bay Miwok inhabit the region that is now Contra Costa County, with a 1770 estimated population of approximately 1,700
