Originally Chinese males (they left their wives, etc. at home) immigrated to California during the Gold Rush of 1849.

Then in the 1860's more Chinese men immigrated to build the railroad thru the Sierra Mountains, which was completed on or around 1869. The eastern portion of the railroad was primarily constructed by Irish males. They both linked up in Utah (railroad completed).
