California and Nevada were among the first western territories to become states due to their rapid population growth and economic development during the mid-19th century. California's gold rush in 1848 attracted a massive influx of settlers, leading to its admission as the 31st state in 1850. Similarly, Nevada experienced significant population increases from mining and other industries, achieving statehood in 1864. Both states played crucial roles in the westward expansion and economic transformation of the United States.
