Social Studies Gold Rush: The California Gold Rush came before California became the thirty-first state.
The Australian gold rush started in 1851 when Hargraves discovered gold in New South Wales. Before this, most prospectors were traveling to California in the United States.
Because the gold rush in California was going on and everybody wanted some gold, also there wasn't many people in the west and the east and south was crowded so people moved to the west.
Before the discovery of gold, California was just a big uninhabited territory on the west coast. Not too many people lived there except, Mexicans, Native Americans, and a few settlers. Then gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill, and enough gold hungry people flooded into the area, to make it a state into a short amount of time.
Because there was gold in California, people rushed there to get as much gold as possible. The more gold there is, the more people there is to make California a state.
