Chinatown Los Angeles was founded in the 1850s by Chinese immigrants who came to California during the Gold Rush. The neighborhood quickly grew as more Chinese immigrants arrived in search of work and opportunities. Chinatown was once a thriving commercial and residential district, but it began to decline in the mid-20th century due to factors such as urban renewal and freeway construction. However, in recent years, Chinatown has experienced a resurgence and is now a popular tourist destination. Central Plaza is the heart of Chinatown and is a popular spot for people-watching and enjoying the sights and sounds of the neighborhood.
