∙ 6y agoIf you are asking about the California gold rush it began in 1848 when John Marshall finds gold in the traces of the John Sutter sawmill in Coloma . As soon as news of the gold the is in headlines of a San Francisco newspaper the gold seekers began to flood into California. Many landed in San Francisco and had to go I land to Sacramento and the gold fields in the foothills. So many people came into California that it became a state in 1850 and John Sutter looses everything he built before gold was found.
