High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Chinatown in Los Angeles, California (Chinese: 洛杉磯唐人街; pinyin: lu shān jī t ng r n jiē) is located in the city's downtown area. Built in 1938, it is the second Chinatown to be constructed in Los Angeles. The original historic Chinatown was founded in the late 19th century, but was demolished to make room for Union Station, the city's major rail depot, leaving its residents and businesses displaced. It is one of three current major Chinatowns in California; one in San Francisco and the other being in Oakland.
