The North Carolina Gold Rush was started because a little boy named Conrad Reed was playing in a creek called "Little Meadow Creek". He had called himself fishing when he had seen something really shiny in the water. He had somehow got it out but didn't know what it was. With that being said, he took it to his father and his father went and had it identified. It was identified that it was gold and was worth 3600 dollars. Soon the news spread around the county as quick as you could say the word "What". Afterwards everyone rushed to that area of North Carolina (around Cabarrus County) to find search for gold . And that is why they called it the GOLD RUSH of North Carolina. :)
