The Twin Peaks are two hills with an elevation of about 922 feet (281 m)  situated at the geographic center of San Francisco, California. They form the second highest point in San Francisco, after Mount Davidson. Before the arrival of the Europeans, the native Ohlone people may have used Twin Peaks as a lookout or hunting ground. The ecological diversity of Twin Peaks provided medicinal or ceremonial plants, grains and berries. When the Spanish conquistadors and settlers arrived beginning in the 18th century, they called the area “Los Pechos de la Choca” or “Breasts of the Indian Maiden” and devoted the area to ranching. When San Francisco passed under American control during the 19th Century, it was renamed “Twin Peaks”.
