The plaque says, "The San Francisco Headlands are renowned around the world for spectacular views of the Golden Gate and Pacific Ocean, the coastal ecosystem, rare geology, and historic military fortifications. When the Presidio, the first garrisoned in 1776 by Spanish troops transferred from the United States Army to the National Park Service in 1994, the post had been in continuous use for more than two centuries-longer than any other military post in the nation.
