"The Golden State," because in 1848-1849, gold was found in California. Does "the Gold Rush" sound familiar?
California's population jumped high in numbers due to a flow of settlers coming hoping to make their fortune by finding gold in said gold rush.

It began about 1880.

The California Gold Rush in 1849 attracted people from all over the world seeking fortune. The discovery of gold in California led to a surge in immigration and the rapid population growth of the state. This influx of people looking for gold significantly impacted California's demographics and economy.
Many people decided to come to California because of the gold rush and some of them began lobbying to have their own place in the government. Eventually, others took up the cry and California became a state.
The first modern goldrush occurred in California in 1849.
The Californian gold rush!
The Klondike Gold Rush happened then. On August 16, large gold deposits were found in Bonanza Creek.
