In 1849 gold was discovered in the traces of the John Sutter sawmill in Columa California. This resulted in the gold rush and in 1850 California became a state. Gold was also found in the BlackHills of Dakota in the 1800's and there was a gold rush onto Native Americans lands. The Yukon had a massive gold rush in the late 1800's, but the conditions there were brutal because of the cold and weather.
