Why is it called the golden gate bridge?
It’s actually named after the Golden Gate Strait that runs beneath it. This narrow stretch of water below the bridge connects the Pacific Ocean on the west to San Francisco Bay on the east. As for the strait itself, its name predates the start of the Gold Rush in 1849.
