California Long Distance Movers Know Just Why You’re Rushing to Move!
The California gold rush has played what is arguably the largest role in California’s success as first a territory and then a state. Today, the rush is still seen as a symbol of the state’s economic go-getter qualities, as well as its status as an economic trendsetter. Though the year 1849 is memorialized by the historically recognizable “Forty-niners,” the gold rush actually began in January of 1848 when a man named James W. Marshall discovered gold in Coloma, California. President James Polk confirmed the discovery in an address to Congress, which sparked a surge of people from all across America and from every other corner of the globe to flock to California, which had recently been ceded from Mexico via the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Today, people are still flocking to the state, both to secure their fortunes and to enjoy everything the state has to offer.

The gold rush in California had a long lasting effect on the state and the country. San Francisco – along with many other cities and towns in the region where gold was mined and panned – owes its existence to the rush. It grew from a 200-resident speck on the map to a boomtown of some 36,000 residents almost overnight. As settlers were pouring in, agriculture movements began developing in the Central Valley to feed its new residents. Today, the valley is responsible for a third of the nation’s food supply. Roads and other infrastructure was built to pave the way toward civilizing a once wild territory. California gained statehood in 1850, with its own constitution and state legislature to boot. Railroads and steamships advanced to transport prospectors to and from the state. The list goes on and on.
