Yes. At that time, many people fantasized about getting rich overnight, so they came to San Francisco to look for gold, which was very popular.

Yes, in 1848 a carpenter discovered ** here, and the news spread quickly, causing many people with overnight fortunes to start pouring into the port of San Francisco, allowing the city to flourish in the midst of a gold rush.

Yes, the Americans accidentally found ** in the watermill back then, and since then the news has spread all over the world. As a result, people from many countries come here. It has led to the economic development of San Francisco.

After the discovery of the initial gold mines, the United States boiled and the world was shaken. The gold rush was felt first in San Francisco, which was close at hand, when almost all businesses ceased operations, seamen abandoned their ships in San Francisco Bay, soldiers left their barracks, servants left their masters, and rushed to the birthplace of the gold mines, peasants pawned their fields, pioneers reclaimed wasteland, workers threw away their tools, civil servants left their desks, and even missionaries left the missionaries. The craze has spread all the way to Oregon in the north and Mexico in the south.

Thousands of gold diggers have skyrocketed California's population. And many of the newly popped towns soon became cosmopolitan cities.

During the Gold Rush, due to the rapid growth of the population, clothing, food, housing and transportation became suddenly tight, especially the development of the service industry could not meet the needs of the society. In addition, between 1848 and 1851, the ** index of wholesale goods in the United States increased from 847 to 1025, reflecting the profound impact of this gold rush on the western United States and its markets.

Since 1854, the gold rush in California has been on a downward trend, with a decline in output value, but the depth and breadth of the entire gold mining industry has developed.

2) It has led to the development of industry and related industries in California.

3) The influx of personnel has accelerated the development of agriculture and animal husbandry.

4) The mining industry drives the development of the transportation industry in the western region.
