The California Gold Rush (1848-55) drew approximately 300,000 people to California from around the world. While most were American, it attracted thousands from Latin America, Europe, Australia, and China. Agriculture expanded to meet the needs of these new settlers. One if the early agricultural ventures to take hold in Gold Country was grapes for wine, as people from small villages in the hills near Genova, Italy were among the first to settle permanently in the Sierra Nevada foothills. Their viticultural know-how was the brightest gold to come out of the Gold Rush!
