The immediate impact was the rush of people into CA. There are reported wagon traffic jams of over 30,000 on the trails to CA. Others came by boat and any means possible. The result of the influx of population was the growth of gold towns in northern CA in the foothills around and above Sacramento. Within two years after the finding of gold in 1848 by John Marshall CA had a large enough population to become a state on Sept. 9, 1850.
