The largest movement of people to California was known as the California Gold Rush, which began in 1848. It was sparked by the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill, leading hundreds of thousands of prospectors, known as "49ers," to migrate to the state in search of wealth. This mass migration significantly contributed to California's rapid population growth and economic development.
