Bush Helped O’Farrell Survey San Francisco This is perhaps the most difficult to trace of all the early San Francisco street names. The name of Dr. Jonathan P. Bush has been suggested, but he did not arrive until 1849, and Bush Street appears on the two earliest maps with street names–both published in 1847. An unverified story published in the San Francisco Chronicle August 17, 1893, tells of a man coming to San Francisco from Oregon, claiming he was J. P. Bush. He said he had first arrived in San Francisco in 1845 as a cabin boy on the New England Whaler Margaret, then deserted and became one of O’Farrell’s assistants in mapping the city’s streets in 1847, and that O’Farrell had named Bush Street for him. This Chronicle story is the most likely explanation of the name. 68aba25bb46dbb56066a32921a7a46c7 13 photo 0 1232487363.932000 ICYMI: SF BUSH st now OBAMA st, incl chging END to BEGIN (bkite photo).
