Chinatowns in The United States - New York

New York

The Chinese American history in the state of New York is closely tied with New York City. The Chinese have arrived in New York City as early as 1868. However, Chinese people did exist since the late 1800s in Western New York, mostly in the cities of Buffalo, Syracuse, and the Capital region of Albany. Also near New York City, the city of Yonkers also had a sizeable population, but its growth was kept to around 50 mainly due to its proximity to the large Chinatown in New York City. Since the 1970s, Yonkers has more than 900 Chinese primarily due to its association with the New York metropolitan area.

Famous quotes containing the word york:

    New York is a meeting place for every race in the world, but the Chinese, Armenians, Russians, and Germans remain foreigners. So does everyone except the blacks. There is no doubt but that the blacks exercise great influence in North America, and, no matter what anyone says, they are the most delicate, spiritual element in that world.
    Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)

    I like New York in June.
    Ralph Freed (1907–1973)
