Les origines du Francophile remontent à la Ruée vers l’or en Californie. En 1850, de nombreux chercheurs d’or sont venus du monde entier en quête du précieux métal. Parmi, eux, il y avait des Français qui se sont établis à San Francisco. Ils ont ouvert des restaurants, des pâtisseries et des grands magasins. Ils ont planté de la vigne dans la région, ont fondé des théâtres et ont créé des journaux. Le Francophile fait partie d’une suite ininterrompue de journaux en langue française édités à San Francisco depuis 1850. Édité sous le nom de Francophile depuis 1979, cette publication a largement dépassé ses frontières californiennes. Ses abonnés comprennent des Français et autres francophones établis aux États-Unis ainsi que des Américains francophiles, dont de nombreux professeurs et étudiants. Dans tous les cas, le Francophile leur sert de lien avec la France et le monde français.
