The term boomtown was used to describe a town that grew quickly around gold-minning areas.

Boomtowns significantly accelerated westward settlement by attracting large numbers of prospectors, entrepreneurs, and settlers seeking opportunities during gold and silver rushes. These rapidly growing towns provided essential services, infrastructure, and social networks, which made the harsh frontier more accessible and appealing. As people flocked to these areas, they fostered economic development and led to the establishment of permanent communities, ultimately contributing to the expansion of the American West. However, the transient nature of many boomtowns also resulted in economic instability and social challenges once the mineral resources were depleted.
Winfield Scott led the Cherokee west on the Trail of Tears.
The external factors that led to Rome's failure in the west were pressure on the borders by the barbarian tribes.
