Treasure Island Live Cam

Treasure Island is a man-made island located in San Francisco Bay, California. Its history is closely tied to both military operations and the World's Fair, which led to its development as a residential and commercial area.

• Military Origins:Treasure Island was initially constructed in the late 1930s as a part of the Golden Gate International Exposition, a World's Fair held in San Francisco in 1939-1940. The U.S. Navy reclaimed 400 acres of shoals and tidal flats to create the island for the purpose of hosting the fair. The name "Treasure Island" was inspired by the Robert Louis Stevenson novel of the same name.
• Golden Gate International Exposition:The fair was intended to celebrate the completion of two major infrastructure projects: the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. Treasure Island served as the fair's main site, showcasing exhibits, pavilions, and attractions from various countries. It attracted millions of visitors during its run and played a significant role in shaping the island's future.
