Treasure Island is a manmade island located in the San Francisco Bay. It was created in the 1930s for the Golden Gate International Exposition. A World’s Fair event, this exposition was held on the island in 1939 and 1940 and it helped to showcase the city’s two new bridges—Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge. The latter, which is commonly referred to as the Bay Bridge, is partly anchored to the natural Yerba Buena Island, which in turn is linked to Treasure Island by a small isthmus.
