People flocked to California in 1849 during the Gold Rush primarily in search of wealth and opportunity, as the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill in 1848 ignited dreams of striking it rich. Additionally, many sought a fresh start or escape from economic hardships and lack of prospects in their home states. The promise of fast riches and the allure of a new life motivated thousands to make the perilous journey westward.
