The Dust Bowl devastated the Great Plains through severe drought and soil erosion, destroying crops and livelihoods. Many displaced farmers, known as "Okies," sought better opportunities and more reliable agricultural conditions in California. The promise of jobs in the booming agricultural industry, along with the hope for a fresh start, made California an attractive destination. This migration ultimately led to significant cultural and economic shifts in both regions.
