Gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill January 24, 1848. People from the surrounding areas started heading for the gold fields that year. By the time the word spread east and over seas, it was already too late in the year to travel (winter had set in) so the real rush didn't occur until the next Spring and the subsequent rush of people to the area to stake their own claims and get rich on gold finds occured in 1849 - hence the name "49'ers".

Gold was known from the most ancient times. We wouldn't know who discovered the first nugget, or even where it might have been found.

Very rough. The gold towns were full of miners and were a rough bunch. There were bars with prostution , streets where muddy and dirty. Some businesses started in tents, and the sidewalks were wooden planks. Prices were high for the most simple things. In many gold camps Hispanic miners were taxed if they wanted to stay and often their claims were jumped. There was nothing romantic about the gold camps.

The event that stands out the most as one looks back on US history was the gold rush started by the Sutter Mill striking gold. Thousands of Americans and others as well rushed to California. They sought to strike it rich. Even today, the NFL football team called the 49ers, has this tag to remind the US of the gold rush so long ago.

They didn't in 1840.The gold rush began at Sutter's Mill in Colima, CA. John Marshall discovered gold in the traces of the mill in 1848. Once the gold was discovered the rush was on. A newspaper headline stated "Eureka, Gold Found". The average pay was about 10.00 a month, but a man could make 50.00 a day if he found gold.
