Sutters mill was a mill owned by some dude by the name of John W. Marshall. He discovered some gold in it prior to the Gold Rush. His secret somehow spread and that is how the Californian Gold Rush began. Remember, the gold rush is what caused thousands of people into the state, and eventually the gold rush led to California becoming a state.
