Chinatown in Victoria, British Columbia is the oldest Chinatown in Canada and the second oldest in North America after San Francisco.
In 1858, the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush brought a mass influx of immigrants from California; one-third of which were Chinese. Later, the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway brought even more Chinese workers. Most of them settled in Victoria’s Chinatown.
