Gold rush
MPS: Yuba City, CA, USA: In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries many immigrants from Europe believed the streets of America were paved with gold. The streets were not gold, but fortunately, they offered golden opportunities.
One of those opportunities was found in the gold fields of northern California during the gold rush in1849. In their rush to get to the nuggets in the streams and rivers of the Serria Nevada Mountains the 49'ers passed right over the gold beneath their feet in Yuba City.
In truth, they were not aware of the gold in Yuba City. It was not discovered until 1948 when it was unearthed during a Plumas Street construction project. At that time the city fathers decided that at the then current price of gold it was too expensive to mine and simply paved over it.
However in 2007, when the price of gold soared past one thousand dollars per ounce, it was decided there was enough profit to be had to justify digging up Plumas Street. And so... the modern day gold rush has begun in Yuba City.
