Nevada
# what state is the leading producer of sardines?
Until 1849, the leading gold producer in the United States was North Carolina. The state was the site of the first significant gold rush in the country, beginning in the late 1820s, with the discovery of gold at places like Reed Gold Mine. North Carolina remained the top gold producer until the California Gold Rush shifted focus westward, drawing prospectors and miners to California in 1849 and beyond. This marked a significant decline in gold production from North Carolina.
