Attracted by the Gold Rush, the Portuguese (mainly from the Azores Islands) found their passage to California as crew members aboard American whaling ships and began arriving in the mid-1800s. They brought with them not only their traditions, but also an intense desire to succeed in this land of opportunity. The Portuguese started in mining camps and later pioneered the growth of the California fruit industry, the settlement of the San Joaquin Valley, and the development of San Diego's tuna industry.
