The Golden Gate Canyon was named in 1883-84 when the first stagecoach road was built through it. It was most likely named by someone on the construction crew or by an early tour operator. The bridge was originally built in 1885 of wood. The first concrete bridge was built in 1901, widened in 1934, and totally rebuilt in 1977.
