The team was named after the age of the actual 49'ers, citizens of the USA who flocked out West in the years surrounding 1849 to prospect for gold. The transient homesteaders were often referred to as 49'ers and helped build the West. As they came and stayed, railroads were built, cities went up and the West became the new frontier.
Gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill in 1848, but by the time word got back east and people could get to California, it was 1849.
