The Haight-Ashbury is a district of San Francisco, California, USA named for the intersection of Haight and Ashbury Streets, commonly known as The Haight. The Upper Haight may refer either to this neighborhood or to the area in the hills above Haight Street. The names of the streets themselves are taken from pioneer and exchange banker Henry Haight, and one of the city supervisors of the time, a Mr. Ashbury. Both of them had a hand in the planning of the neighborhood, and, more important, Golden Gate Park at its inception. The district is famous for its role as a center of the 1960s hippie movement, a post-runner and closely associated offshoot of the Beat generation who swarmed San Francisco's "in" North Beach neighborhood two to eight years before the "Summer of Love" in 1967.
