California Gold Discovery. On January 24, 1848, an event occurred in Coloma that would radically impact the history of California and the Nation. James W. Marshall was building a sawmill for Captain John Sutter, using water from the South Fork of the American River. He noticed several flakes of metal in the tailrace water and recognized them to be gold.
The California gold rush of 1849 brought large numbers of American citizens and new immigrants from Europe to California. The presence of gold -- the worldwide standard curren â¦ cy in that time -- made California tremendously valuable to the United States.he first finding of gold was at the tailrace of a sawmill being  built by James Wilson Marshall in Coloma, California. The mill  property was owned by Johan (John) Sutter. â¦ The area that was  impacted by the gold rush was northern California from Sacramento  north to San Francisco.
