∙ 14y agoHordes of people looking for an opportunity to get rich. This includes the American-born and European-born population from the East coast. The population in America was booming and people were looking to succeed in the new land to the West. The California gold rush began in 1848 but mostly local Californians were involved until the rush of people from outside the state began in 1849. There were so many headed to California that year to mine for gold, they became known as the "Forty-Niners".
