3 City Market Chinatown

 

City Market Chinatown was located near the Los Angeles City Market at San Pedro Street and Ninth Street. It developed as a result of City Market itself being established in 1909, its Chinese workers being interested in living close to where they worked and uncertainty about the future of Los Angles Old Chinatown. The community contained restaurants, merchandise stores, a Congregational Church and association organizations (photo today). With the establishment of New Chinatown, City Market Chinatown began to decline in numbers.
