History

The Sausalito Land and Ferry Company began running ferries between here and San Francisco around 1868. [1] The terminal served as the southern terminus and ferry connection to San Francisco for the North Pacific Coast Railroad, [2] which purchased the service in 1875. [1] Pedestrian ferries were discontinued on February 28, 1941, [1] [3] with car ferry service ended by March, a few years after opening of the Golden Gate Bridge. [4]
On August 15, 1970, Golden Gate Ferries began service to San Francisco along with the inauguration of bus services to the ferry terminal that day. [1] A new dock was built in 1996. [5]
