The Cow Palace San Francisco Daly City, 2. #149980981
Description
Originally called `California State Livestock Pavilion`, because of the popularity of the livestock pavilion at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition that was held in San Francisco in 1915. When a local newspaper complained, in 1935, about a `palace for cows` this was turned around to `Cow Palace`, and a new name was born. Although the Grand National Rodeo and Livestock Exposition is still held there, it has also been the processing ares for our solders heading out to the Pacific, when first opened in 1941. Since then it has also been used for the Republican National Convention, in both 1956 and 1964. It also hosts all kinds of sporting events and live performances. Owned by the state of California, most of the property is in the northern part of Daly City, with only a portion of the upper parking lot being in San Francisco.
