Gold was first discovered in the United States in 1799 at Reed's Gold Mine in North Carolina. This discovery initiated the first gold rush in the country, leading to increased interest in gold mining. However, it was the California Gold Rush, beginning in 1848, that significantly intensified gold exploration and settlement in the West.
