San Francisco doesn't have any huge plantations but they surrounding areas are famous for some things, such as the vineyards of Sonoma County, and the garlic of Gilroy, CA in Santa Clara County.
In 1865 Amendment 13 was passed abolishing slavery, with that said Ca was not even a slavery state it was a free state.
The Great Migration was cause for black people to start migrating, it was estimated that 2 million blacks people migrated out of the south and into the west side of the US. Ca offered people a safe haven and assistance for people who needed it. What most likely attracted immigration to the bay are was that there were a lot of job opportunities, and the economy was diverse.
Besides economic reasons, the bay area had very nice temperatures and was clean of dust bowls, the beach is a very tempting place to be close to.
