Minnesota
The state of Minnesota since 2002 has 18,000 Chinese residents. The original Chinese came to Minnesota in the 1870s from the Transcontinental Railroad but have been dispersed throughout the state with no one particular city having any significant concentrations. A branch of the On Leong Chinese Merchants Association was present in Minneapolis in 1920 and a paifang was built in Nicollet Mall in the 1970s and moved to the Minnesota State Fair in the 1990s.
