About

Description
'Outside Lands' was the name used in the 19th century for the present-day Sunset District in San Francisco, California. With few roads and no public transportation, the area was covered by sand dunes and was considered inaccessible and uninhabitable. Today, after extensive development, the area is home to Golden Gate Park and Ocean Beach.

Like all of California, the Outside Lands were a Mexican possession until the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in February of 1848 ceded it to the United States. The area was U.S. Government land at the time of the Gold Rush. The City and County of San Francisco, which was growing rapidly, desired the land and petitioned for it in the 1850s. After years of court battles, the U.S. Government declared the area part of San Francisco in 1866.

Remix your media at http://www.crowdfire.net/remix. At Outside Lands, be sure to check out the CrowdFire Pavilion where you can play games, create a cool concert poster, and see how all various fans' media is brought to life.
