Asians first migrated to the United States in significant numbers during the mid-19th century, primarily driven by the Gold Rush of 1849 and the demand for labor to build the transcontinental railroad. The first large group of Asian immigrants were primarily Chinese, arriving in California. Other groups, including Japanese, Filipino, and Indian immigrants, followed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These migrations laid the foundation for the diverse Asian American communities present today.
