List of hills in San Francisco

This is a list of the hills in San Francisco, California.

Several cities claim to have been built on seven hills.

[2] The origin of most longer lists of San Francisco hills is Hills of San Francisco,[3] a compilation of 42 San Francisco Chronicle columns, each describing one of the city's hills.

The "Hills" chapter of Gladys Hansen's San Francisco Almanac[4] repeated the list given in Hills of San Francisco and added the then-recently-named Cathedral Hill for a total of 43, but the "Places" chapter[5] listed many additional hills.

More recent lists include more hills, some lesser-known, some not on the mainland, and some without names.

Steep hills are a major feature of San Francisco 's geography, with strong impacts on transportation , building and urban planning . Here, a sign warns drivers of a steep slope on Taylor Street.
