What was the result of the Califonia gold rush?

Answer 1

Perhaps the most important result of the California Gold Rush was that hundreds of thousands of people moved to California, a large multiple of the numbers of people who had lived there before. Towns and cities were founded and chartered. San Francisco turned from being a village with a nice harbor to being a major center for trade. Shipping companies were built around the demand for passage to and from California. The gold rush impelled the construction of new transcontinental railroads.

The economies of countries were altered by the increased availability of gold. The large number of people in California needed to eat more food than could be produced by local farms, and so farmers in Chile, Australia, and Hawaii had a new market for their goods.

Unfortunately, not everyone benefited. The people who had lived in California before the gold rush were likely to be uprooted, and no one suffered from this more than the American Indians who lived there.
