Emigration from China to other parts of the world really took off in the 1860s with the enactment of the Treaty of Peking, which opened the border for free movement. The early immigrants came primarily from coastal province of Guangdong and Fujian (Fukien) — where Cantonese, Min Nan (Hokkien), Hakka, and Chaozhou (Teochew, Chiu Chow) are largely spoken — in southeastern China. Initially, the Qing government of China did not care for these migrants leaving the country. Taishanese and Cantonese settled in the first North American Chinatown ...

Chinatowns are most common in North America, Asia, Australia and Europe, but are common across much of the globe. Immigration patterns determine the economic, political and social character of individual Chinatowns, as do their intranational locations (urban, suburban or rural). Most Chinatowns grow organically but some countries have taken to building an ...

| | | | Chinatown - Settlement patterns and history of the earliest Chinatowns: Encyclopedia II - Chinatown patterns in North America - Frontier and rural Chinatowns Several small towns in the western United States and Canada have or once had a Chinatown that sprang up as a result of early Chinese settlement during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Many of the Chinese that formed these Chinatowns were from the primarily rural Sze Yap ("Four Districts") region of Guangdong province of China, including speakers of Toisan (台山, Pinyin: Taishan) and Chung San (中山, Pinyin: Zhongshan) Chinese (these are various subdialects of Cantonese Chinese). Experiencing hardships, especially discrimination and prejud ...

The early Chinese immigrants settled in major North American coastal cities such as San Francisco, New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and Vancouver, thus giving those cities historic and bustling old Chinatowns that still stand today and essentially serving as anchors for another wave of ethnic Chinese immigration. In the early years of settlement, many of the ol ...

Although as Singapore grew, Chinese immigrants settled in other areas of the island-city, Chinatown became overcrowded within decades of Singapore's founding in 1819 and remained such until many residents were relocated at the initiation of Singapore's governmental Housing Development Board in the 1960s.
In 1822, Sir Stamford Raffles wrote to Captain C.E. Davis, President of the Town Committee, and G ...

| | | | Chinatown - Settlement patterns and history of the earliest Chinatowns: Encyclopedia II - Chinatown patterns in North America - Chinatown Gentrifcation One issue of recent salience in Chinatowns across North America is gentrification. In those cities with older Chinatowns, governments are looking to renovate those neighborhoods which have been affected by urban decay. This issue can be found in a wide variety of Chinatowns across the region with a variety of outcomes. Oftentimes, Chinatowns confronted with this issue will publicly protest redevelopment efforts (for example, those in San Francisco, Philadelphia, and Boston), while less vocal Chinatowns will slowly gentrify as redevelopment takes hold.
