About Chinatown
Chinatown is a neighborhood north of downtown Los Angeles, California, that became a commercial center for Chinese and other Asian businesses in Central Los Angeles in 1938. The area includes restaurants, shops, and art galleries, but also has a residential neighborhood with a low-income, aging population of about 7,800 residents. The original Chinatown developed in the late 19th century, and was demolished to make room for Union Station, the city's major ground-transportation center.
