No, California did not become a state immediately after the Gold Rush began in 1848. The Gold Rush spurred rapid population growth, leading to California's request for statehood. California was admitted as the 31st state of the United States on September 9, 1850, as part of the Compromise of 1850, which addressed issues related to slavery and territorial expansion.
