Most immigrants to the USA from China and other Asian nations began to arrive in significant numbers during the mid-19th century, particularly during the Gold Rush era of the 1850s. This trend continued through the late 19th and early 20th centuries, although restrictive Immigration laws, such as the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, severely limited Chinese immigration. A resurgence occurred after the mid-20th century, particularly after the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which abolished earlier quotas and allowed for increased immigration from Asia.
