The Beats had congregated around San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood from the late 1950s.

- Haight-Ashbury

By 1958 tourists who came to San Francisco could take bus tours to view the North Beach Beat scene, prophetically anticipating similar tours of the Haight-Ashbury district ten years later.

The word hippie came from hipster and was used to describe beatniks who moved into New York City's Greenwich Village, San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district, and Chicago's Old Town community.

The Beats adopted the term hip, and early hippies inherited the language and countercultural values of the Beat Generation.
