The Forty-Niners were associated with the California Gold Rush that began in 1849. They were prospectors and miners who flocked to California in search of gold after its discovery at Sutter's Mill. This mass migration significantly impacted the state's population and economy, leading to California's rapid admission into the Union in 1850. The term "Forty-Niner" has since become emblematic of the spirit of adventure and the pursuit of fortune during that era.
