the effects of the gold rush were substantial. whole indigenous societies were attacked and pushed off their lands by the gold-seekers, called "forty-niners" (referring to 1849, the peak year for gold rush immigration). outside of california, the first to arrive were from oregon, the sandwich islands (hawaii), and latin america in late 1848. of the approximately 300,000 people who came to california during the gold rush, about half arrived by sea and half came overland on the california trail and the gila river trail; forty-niners often faced substantial hardships on the trip. while most of the newly arrived were americans, the gold rush attracted thousands from latin america, europe, australia, and china. agriculture and ranching expanded throughout the state to meet the needs of the settlers. san francisco grew from a small settlement of about 200 residents in 1846 to a boomtown of about 36,000 by 1852. roads, churches, schools and other towns were built throughout california. in 1849 a state constitution was written. the new constitution was adopted by referendum vote, and the future state's interim first governor and legislature were chosen. in september 1850, california became a state.
