Outside of San Francisco, what city named a professional sports team after a gold rush?
Answer Denver
The 49ers are famously named for the Gold Rush of 1849. Less well-known is that the Denver Nuggets are named for the nuggets of gold found in the Colorado Gold Rush, which also took place around that time.
