History
San Francisco was first settled in 1854 and named by the founder, William Foster, after the city in California.[2] It was reportedly the original county seat of Carver County, Minnesota, but lost that status to Chaska a year later.[3] The town lasted about ten years from its founding and had a post office from 1856 until 1858 and again from 1861 until 1862.[4] It still existed as a town in 1870, as there is a U.S. federal census record for it.
