Why is the Golden Gate Bridge called Golden Gate bridge?

The bridge did not get it's name from either it's "golden" orange color or that it seems like a "gate" into San Francisco. It took it's name from the Golden Gate Strait, the waterway over which it passes. The strait connects the bay to the Pacific Ocean.

The strait was named in about 1849 by a U.S. Army captain who said it reminded him of Istanbul, Turkey's Golden Horn Harbor.

It is not named after its color(colour you american retard) CAUTION BEFORE YOU READ: THIS IS BORING! Actually, the term Golden Gate refers to the Golden Gate Strait which is the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean. The strait is approximately three-miles long by one-mile wide with currents ranging from 4.5 to 7.5 knots.It is generally accepted that the strait was named "Chrysopylae" or Golden Gate by Army Captain John C.

Fremont, circa 1846. It is said it reminded him of a harbor in Istanbul named Chrysoceras or Golden Horn.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
