No caption. Commemorative stamp celebrating the upcoming Golden Gate International Exposition, c. 1938. The Exposition, which ran from February through October in 1939 and May to September in 1940, celebrated the completion of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge (1936) and the Golden Gate Bridge (1937). More than ten million people attended in 1939, while an additional five million visited in 1940. The Exposition was held on an artificial island created by dredging more than 19 million cubic yards of material from the bottom of the bay. The federal government completed this dredging and fill, intending for the site, called Treasure Island, to become a municipal airport after the exposition. However, the advent of World War II resulted in the U.S. Navy taking over the site, holding it until for military purposes until 1997.
