Chicago's Chinatown growth compared to other cities may be attributed to better resources for the community it serves.
CHICAGO -- Just south of the city, outside the bustle of business in the Loop, exists an ethnic enclave: Chicago's Chinatown.
Chicago's Chinatown originally was located downtown in the early 1870s. Historians say early Chicago Chinese immigrants moved to its current South Side location in 1912 after being forced out by rising rent and, at the time, anti-Chinese sentiment.Nicole Lee on becoming 1st Asian American woman on Chicago City Council: 'It's a big deal'
"When I started working, Chinatown had about 12,000 people," Wu said."Ten years later grew to 18,000 by 2010. It was 27,000 and now it's over 30,000 in this wider area called greater Chinatown." Wu attributes Chicago's Chinatown growth compared to other cities to better resources for the community it serves.
