Short History
In the 1930s, many Cantonese immigrants migrated to the old Houston Chinatown, then a part of the Third Ward area, from Downtown Houston to find more affordable land. The Cantonese established various companies, such as food stores and restaurants, and also held Chinese New Year celebrations. People from East Asian countries, including Vietnam, have moved into Chinatown.
In the 1950s, those belonging to the Chinese Merchants’ Association relocated to the southeastern part of Downtown Houston. A lot of these Chinese companies relocated to the area in the past since a former Chinatown located Downtown was replaced by commercial development in the 1970s. In the 1970s, EaDo Chinatown solidified as many Asian immigrants such as Viet Hoa started making their way into Houston around the late 1970s. In the 1980s, the theater, supermarkets, banks, warehouses, and restaurants were situated there.
