The               first               Asians               to               arrive               here               (in               the               1860's)               were               the               Chinese               fishermen;               hard-working               and               admirably               tough-skinned               folks               who               built               their               shacks               in               the               same               area               as               a               result               of               the               rampant               anti-immigrant               discrimination               in               those               post-gold               rush               years.

Chinatown               was               also               known               as               the               Stingaree               District,               lighting               and               enlivening               up               downtown's               night               with               its               tantalizing               red               lamps....

That               was               until               the               city               decided               to               'clean               up'               the               area               in               preparation               for               the               1915               Panama-California               Exposition               (the               one               that               precipitated               Balboa               Park,               Cabrillo               Bridge,               and               the               Santa               Fe               Depot,               among               other               attractions               that               still               survive               today).
