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.

Did many Chinese come through Ellis Island?
Yes, many Chinese immigrants passed through Ellis Island, particularly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. However, due to discriminatory laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, the number of Chinese immigrants allowed entry was significantly restricted compared to other nationalities. As a result, while some Chinese did enter through Ellis Island, the overall numbers were relatively low compared to immigrants from Europe. Most Chinese immigrants entered the U.S. through other ports, such as San Francisco.
