The San Francisco 49ers are named after the prospectors who flocked to Northern California in 1849 during the California Gold Rush. Known as "forty-niners," these adventurers came from across the United States and around the world hoping to strike it rich. The influx of fortune seekers transformed San Francisco from a small town into a booming city almost overnight. When the football team was founded in 1946, the name "49ers" was chosen to honor the spirit of ambition, risk-taking, and discovery that defined that era.
