The California Gold Rush was an influx of treasure hunters that began when James Wilson Marshall discovered gold ore at Sutter's Mill in Coloma, California, in the Sierra Nevada near Sacramento.
It began on 24 January 1848 and continued to around 1855. It resulted in some 300,000 people arriving in the area to seek their fortune, with people coming from all over the world - Europe, Asia and other parts of the American continent. The vast majority did not become wealthy, but they swelled the population of the state around San Francisco. The general term for these miners was Forty-niners, which much later became the name of the NFL team, the San Francisco 49ers.
