California gold rush (24 ene 1849 año – 24 ene 1855 año)

Descripción:

Gold was discovered in Northern California, spurring thousands of people to find their way to the west coast in search of riches. Prior to the gold rush, fewer than 1,000 people lived in California. So many people flocked to the area that there were around 100,000 people there by the time 1849 drew to a close. The gold rush continued, peaking in 1852 then declining until it ended in 1857.
