Boom towns sprang up during the Gold Rush due to the sudden influx of people seeking fortune and opportunity. As gold was discovered, thousands flocked to mining areas, creating a rapid demand for housing, goods, and services. This led to the establishment of towns almost overnight, often characterized by makeshift structures and a lively, chaotic atmosphere. The promise of wealth and the need for community support fueled their rapid growth and development.
