In 1850 Levi Strauss, a young immigrant from Germany, arrived in San Francisco. He came
to sell canvas, a heavy fabric used for tents, to gold miners. One day Strauss saw that the
miners needed strong clothes for work. He quickly took some of his canvas and made it into
pants. These pants were very strong and lasted a long time. The pants became very popular


immediately. Later Strauss wanted to make his pants even better, so he started making his
pants from cotton cloth that was softer than canvas but just as strong. This fabric came from
Nimes, a city in France, and was called 'denim' (from de Nimesv. Denim was popular in the
fifteenth century. Christopher Columbus used denim for the sails of his ships. Sailors in
Genoa, Italy, wore denim pants. The word 'jeans' comes from the word 'Genoa'. Mr. Strauss
made the first jeans in the United States, but their name and their kind of cloth came from
