The first Asian settlement in North America is generally recognized as being established by the Chinese in the 19th century, particularly during the California Gold Rush in the 1850s. However, earlier Asian presence dates back to the arrival of Filipino sailors, known as "Manila men," who settled in areas like Louisiana in the early 18th century. These early settlements marked the beginning of significant Asian migration and cultural influence in the United States.
