Eureka Valley is a neighborhood in San Francisco, primarily a quiet residential neighborhood but boasts one of the most visited sub-neighborhoods, The Castro. It is an affluent neighborhood popular with family and the LGBT community. The rainbow flag, signifying LGBT pride, can be seen displayed throughout the area. It was initially a working-class Irish neighborhood until a combination of factory jobs loss and the migration of gays into The Castro radically changed the neighborhood in the 1960s. In 1977, this district elected the first openly gay politician (Harvey Milk) to public office (San Francisco Board of Supervisors). ==Geography== The only official definition of neighborhoods in San Francisco is by the city's Planning Department, which defines, a larger "Castro/Upper Market" neighborhood.〔("Neighborhoods", San Francisco Planning Department, retrieved 2013-11-28 )〕 The definition of Eureka Valley by the Castro/Eureka Valley Neighbors Association〔("get to know your neighbors", EVNA site, retrieved 2013-11-28 )〕 as well as a 2007 Planning Department study〔 is: * Sanchez Street on the east * 22nd Street on the south *Twin Peaks on the west *Duboce Avenue on the north with Noe Valley to the south and Mission District to the east.
