Summary

[edit]
Description

Just east of Civic Center, the United Nations Plaza commemorates the founding of the United Nations here in San Francisco, in 1945, as World War II was about to wind down. An international forum of global scope was needed after the failure of the League of Nations to prevent a world war.

While New York and Geneva are better associated with the United Nations, its founding in San Francisco is a reminder that San Francisco is a city with a long global history, long before Los Angeles took over the title of California's grandest city.

The pillars list all United Nations member nations, along with the date of admittance.
