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.
