The gold they were seeking was located near the present day town of Yale. Most of the gold seekers passed through Chilliwack, some on trails coming from Washington State but most by paddle wheeler from the towns of Victoria or New Westminster. Realizing that the grasslands in Chilliwack area offered greater opportunities for creating wealth through farming rather than by the arduous job of sluicing and panning for gold, some of these gold seekers stayed.
