According to the legend,a crew of Russian fur trades,down from Alaska to hunt sea otters,buried their dead on the hill in the 1820s.
It was first settled in 1852 by working class families who built small wooden houses on the steep slopes.Later in the 19th century,a community of artists moved in,making Russian Hill San Francisco's first bohemian neighborhood.It did not become a popular place to live until the arrival of the cable cars between 1880 and 1891.
