California gained mass popularity during the California Gold Rush in the 1840s, which actually allowed for California to be granted statehood. Contributing to the Gold Rush, California's beautiful weather attracted more and more people as Americans started to migrate west. California quickly became a center for business and agriculture, which especially allowed the population to explode. A large portion of the population growth in California can be attributed to Immigration, where California receives a large migrant population mainly from Latin America and Asia.

How many years must a resident consecutive before becoming president of the US?

Arnold Schwarzenegger was born in Bavaria, Germany, but has become the Governor of the state of California in the United States.
