Various 'gold rush' events have occurred throughout the world at different times, but perhaps the most famous (and also most dramatic) swept North America in the mid-1800s. With the discovery of Gold in California in 1849, hundreds of thousands of fortune-seekers from all around the world 'rushed' to America's West Coast in order to find gold. Many did, with a large population-boom occurring in California as a result -- which led directly to that state being formed and admitted into the American Union in 1850.
