This is a list of the hills of San Francisco, California.
Several cities claim to have been built on seven hills. While "The Seven Hills of San Francisco" is a phrase no one in San Francisco would recognize, seven of the city's 35+ hills that are most well-known among tourists include Telegraph Hill, Nob Hill, Russian Hill, Rincon Hill, Twin Peaks, Mount Davidson and Lone Mountain[1] or Mount Sutro.[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.[2][6][7]
