The California Gold Rush (1848-1855) began on January 24, 1848, when gold was found by James W. Marshall at Sutter's Mill in Coloma, California. No one could keep a secret and by 1849 people were leaving their jobs and homes in the east and travelling to California in the hopes of finding some gold. Some estimate that over 300,000 people came to California. They were given the name, the "49'ers" as a reference to 1849.
