The California Gold Rush began in the late 1840s, specifically in 1848, when gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill. This event led to a massive influx of people seeking fortune, significantly impacting California's population and economy. The rush continued into the 1850s as more prospectors arrived in search of gold.
