Corporate chains moved onto Haight Street during the 1990s also eager to capitalize on its past history.

During that year, the neighborhood's fame reached its peak as it became the haven for a number of the top psychedelic rock performers and groups of the time.

It is commonly called The Haight.The district generally encompasses the neighborhood surrounding Haight Street, bounded by Stanyan Street and Golden Gate Park on the west, Oak Street and the Golden Gate Park Panhandle on the north, Baker Street and Buena Vista Park to the east and Frederick Street and Ashbury Heights and Cole Valley neighborhoods to the south.The street names themselves commemorate two early San Francisco leaders: Pioneer and exchange banker Henry Haight, or, (though it is arguable) the tenth governor of California, Henry Huntley Haight, the former's nephew.

The Haight-Ashbury could not accommodate this rapid influx of people, and the neighborhood scene quickly deteriorated.

They not only immortalized the scene in song, but also knew many within the community as friends and family.

The Haight-Ashbury's elaborately detailed, 19th century multi-story wooden houses became a haven for hippies during the 1960s, due to the availability of cheap rooms and vacant properties for rent or sale in the district; property values had dropped in part because of the proposed freeway.
