A Chinatown is a section of an urban area containing a large population of Chinese people within a city that is not predominantly Chinese. Chinatowns are most common in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and North America.
Chinatowns were formed in the 19th century in many areas of the United States partially as a result of the Chinese Exclusion Act and other anti-Chinese policieswhich forbade, to the Chinese, property ownership and sometimes even residence in certain cities or towns*.
