The Chinese were the first Asian immigrants to enter the United States. They immigrated to the U. S. in the 18th century. However， there have been claims stating that they were in America at an even earlier date. The first Chinese immigrants were wealthy， successful merchants， along with skilled artisans， fishermen， and hotel and restaurant owners.
Large-scale immigration began in the mid-1800s during the California Gold Rush. By the year 1851， there were 25， 000 Chinese working in California， mostly centered in and around the “Gold Rush” area and near San Francisco. During that time， more than half the Chinese in the U.S. lived in that region. These Chinese clustered into groups， working hard and living frugally. As the populations of these groups increased， they formed large ethnic enclaves called “Chinatowns” all over the country.
The first and bestknown Chinatown in the U.S. was in San Francisco. The Chinatown in San Francisco has endured a century of earthquakes， fires， and urban renewal， yet has remained in the same neighborhood maintaining the same rich culture. Chinatowns have traditionally been the places where Chinese Americans lived， worked， and shopped. Although these cities were often overcrowded slum areas in the 1800s， the Chinatowns turned from crime and drug ridden areas to quiet， colorful tourist attractions by the mid-1900s.
