Chinese immigrants came to California primarily during the mid-19th century due to the Gold Rush, which promised economic opportunities and the chance for prosperity. Many sought to escape poverty, political instability, and social unrest in China. Additionally, they were drawn to the demand for labor in industries such as mining, agriculture, and railroad construction. Their migration significantly impacted California's economy and cultural landscape.
