The most important result of the California Gold Rush was probably the increase in population it caused in California. Before the rush, San Francisco was a village of 500 with a nice harbor. The gold rush made it into a city. Other towns and cities were founded at the same time, and California became a state less than three years after the gold rush started.

Usually, when people talk about the gold rush, they are talking about the Gold Rush of 1849, which started in California, but before it was a state. There were other gold rushes, mostly in territories that later became states, such as Alaska, Colorado, and South Dakota. There were also gold rushes to places that were already states, including North Carolina and Georgia.
