- 2. The Growth and Progression of California In the first forty years of California’s statehood were met with a large progression into modernization. The first addition California needed in order to progress further into modernization was a water system throughout the state. California was mostly barren desert or hard mountain that took dynamite to get through. In order for the state to be anything but uninhabitable it had to build a statewide water system. The government jumped on the problem and began building an irrigation system. The technology learned during the Gold Rush for moving water across land led to the technology for irrigation in California. Construction began in San Francisco and Los Angeles enlarging and stabilizing the metropolitan population of the state. Natural dry California land
- 3. After the Establishment of an Irrigation System Once the irrigation was in the place it made room for further progression. California began to establish prestigious universities such as the University of Berkeley and the University of Southern California. The government then took action and hired well-established architects to take part in building up the California cities. Furthermore, the government flushed money towards making california easier to navigate; large bridges and freeways were built. Golden Gate Bridge; a symbol of California progression
