They didn't. It was unexplored territory for the most part. Other than a few Spanish explorers, there wasn't much happening on the west coast until the early 1800's.

During the American Revolutionary War, California was under Spanish rule and was not a direct participant in the conflict. Therefore, people did not move to California specifically because of the war. However, throughout the late 18th and early 19th centuries, people did move to California for various reasons, including Spanish colonization, missions, trade opportunities, and the search for wealth, such as gold during the Gold Rush.
