It all started in 1860, when the first Chinese came to live in Montreal, to be able to build the railway from coast to coast, and to work in the mines. In 1902, this quadrilateral was officially named Chinatown. The Chinese community wished to continue to carry on its culture and customs, and by 1915, it boasted some 50 respectable businesses and restaurants. The point of having a Chinatown was for them to feel less homesick.
