The large population allowed them to qualify for statehood in 1850. The gold rush was also a opportunity to start a new business for many people. California went from a small populated territory when the Mexicans signed the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo to a high population that would consider them a state. The immigrants/newcomers of California wanted to talk with their families so they wanted to create new communication and transformation system to talk/see them. People did make this happen there was the Pony Express and California Star Newspaper. The Pony Express was when ponies would take mail and parcels from California to the midwest in two weeks. California Star Newspaper was a delivery mail service that connected California to Mississippi.
