According to the latest research as of 2008 in Garry Gitzen's "Francis Drake in Nehalem Bay 1579, Setting the Historical Record Straight", Drake never set foot in what we know today as California. The California landing story was made-up by false claims of a fake plate of brass that was supposedly left by Drake and ignoring previous scholarly research by Zelia Nuttall and 16th century maps by Hondius and Van Sype.

The first Europeans tp find the GOLDEN GATE (the water connecting San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean) were Spanish, not English like Drake. A group of soldiers traveling up the coast by land found it in 1769, and a ship went through it in 1775.
Of course, before any Europeans arrived, there were Native Americans who had been there hundreds if not thousands of years.
