San Rafael, located in Marin County, western California, is a city on the northwestern shore of San Francisco Bay. The area was developed around the Mission San Rafael Arcángel as a ranch town and has since grown due to improved accessibility to San Francisco and the East Bay cities via the Golden Gate and Richmond–San Rafael bridges.
