When the Chinese first came over to the US, numerous Chinatowns were built across Northern California, serving as important Chinese communities that offered protection, entertainment, and survival for the early Chinese pioneers. Marysville's Chinatown became one of the largest and liveliest Chinatown in all of California due to its proximity to the Northern Gold Mines (Colfax, Grass Valley, etc.), and also the accessibility to reach Marysville from San Francisco.
During its golden days, Marysville's Chinatown had schools, shops, brothels, gambling dens, temples, etc. The streets were filled with activities, and Chinatown celebrated many festivals significant to the Chinese culture. One of the most important characteristics of Marysville Chinatown was that it was able to avoid arson and racist violence, which also drew Chinese refuges from nearby Chinatowns such as Chico and Oroville, which were both destroyed by racist MFs. However, even a prominent Chinatown like Marysville couldn't withstand the depletion of gold, which forced many folks to move out in search of new opportunities.
What is left of Maryville's Chinatown today? Join me as we explore the Last Chinatown of California's Gold Country!
=====================================================
1850年代的加州淘金潮吸引了全世界各地的人, 包括中國人。 中國人來到美國後 在北加州建立了許多華人社區（中國城），其中一個非常重要的華人社區建立在美利允市。美利允早期是個非常熱鬧的淘金小鎮 ， 因為靠近北部的金礦。 另外， 因為可以從舊金山直接搭船到達美利允， 所以比陸行方便多了。美利允早期中的中國城有學校， 廟， 商店， 妓院，賭場， 等。 過節時大家都湧進大街慶祝活動。 最重要的是， 美利允的中國城幾乎沒有被歧視的老美騷擾。 附近的奇科和奧羅維爾市的華埠因為經常受到種族歧視 所以那邊的華人之後都般到美利允。
美利允的發展當初非常有潛力， 還被稱為「西岸的紐約」。 不過， 金礦淘光後， 美利允的居民也跑到別處尋找新的生活。
美利允現在變什麼樣？ 想知道的話就跟我一起來冒險吧！

Correction @ 23:50 - Marysville was "Sam Fow" (Third Chinatown), but still had a bigger population than Sacramento during its peak
Im going to visit marysville chinatown and museum soon. I know he did a video of it
Come for Bok Kai Festival this year. Feb. 25 and 26. We are going to do a few new things for the weekend. Contact me, I'm the president of the Marysville Chinese Community.
@@jonlim1978 wanna join! How could I contact you?
My dad and his 3 brothers went to that Chinese school when they were young. They got out of American grade school and went there until the evening. There is also a memorial outside of the temple just passed the Silver Dollar. It’s dedicated to my grandmother. Her and my grandfather were very prominent people in the Chinese community.
Who was your dad? I might have known him since my brothers and I attended until it for closed down around 1960 by my mother Mary Wong Hai Yee, its last principal. When I started, it had around 15 students. The class exercise books in brush stroked character are now stored in storage. So our Chinese calligraphy has been preserved to this day!

You are doing a great job. I am old and I enjoy seeing a young person do history. Good for you!
Thanks for the great video. I grew up in Marysville's Chinatown during the "50's-60's." It was a very busy area then.
u deserve more views - thanks for sharing this
Did she say "Please Step Back" Good job, keep history alive!
All this time I thought tong buildings were where they sold sugar.
I really hope you’ll come back to see the Oroville Temple/Museum on the inside. Chico has rock fences that were built by Chinese laborers
I had the privilege and opportunity last year (or year before) to tour the inside of the Oroville Chinese Temple, and it was fantastic!! I also made a video about it, and thanks for mentioning the rock fences in Chico as I had no idea!
@@jacks_off_to the rock walls/fences in Chico are vanishing as vacant land is being taken for development, but the best remnants can be seen off of Bruce Road.
Also could you provide the link for your Oroville Chinese Temple video? I didn’t find it when I went to your site 😩

Thank you!
I also did some digging for you & found this news clip about a section of an historic section of wall that was removed when they widened Bruce Road when they built the new courthouse…I remember that, it was heartbreaking…at any rate, there are still more wall sections along Bruce Road closer to highway 32 if you ever come back up this way. I’m sure there’s info about them in a Chico Museum & definitely you can find info in the library on the Chico State University campus picture collections 👍
Also watching more of your videos, I answered my own question about where you grew up…CALLED IT!!!
Ps I love your earthy natural & humorous style. Don’t change. Just don’t. You are perfect just as you are!
PPS: what happened to my link? TH-cam strikes again? If you want you can search for rock walls of Chico CA & there’s a 2 minute video on the removal of a historic section.
北溪古廟 2016年去過一次😀
They have the Bok Kai festival each year. I live her in the historical district. All first street was China town. You should get with the city to do tours of Chinatown and it’s history.
Chinese temples😀
Thanks Jack. Marysville was on my list but I left North Cal this past May.
I guess it's time to come visit! (I don't exactly know when the temple is open. The last time I went it was closed even on a Saturday)
Very enjoyable! I appreciate your enthusiasm to keep history alive and not forgotten.!
I had no idea that all of that was even there. And I have lived in Yuba County for the last 35 years. I'm going to have to check that out sometime. Thanks for sharing this video.
Very informative! Hope you’ll go back March 1-2, 2025 for its annual Bomb Day celebrating Book Kai Festival. Your tour brought back many old memories. I attended that Chinese school from 1954 until it closed down around 1960 by my mother Mary Wong Hai Yee, its last principal. When I started, it had around 15 students - very vibrant and active! The class exercise books in ink brush stroked characters are now stored in storage. So our Chinese calligraphy has been preserved to this day. I am surprised the building has been shuttered to this day. Hope you continue to tour and explore Chinese Chinatowns and historic places!
The miserable faces are the ones that lost at Mah Jong hahaha
the whookurs should cheer them up then haha
Have you checked out locke calif yet. Oldest Chinese settlement. And that Oroville chinese museum is fantastic inside been there. But you got see Chinatown in locke calif.

Jack’s off😂 Subscribed
Jack!!! Your videos are getting me through 2020/2021. Thank you for making these!!!! You need to start up a Patreon or Discord so we can stay in touch with you!!! #NorCalHistory
Thanks for watching!! I don't think my channel is at that point where I can shamelessly ask people for money lol. I still have a lot of adventures so I'll be posting for a bit
Marysville is known for growing almonds, motor cross (hence the background noise in your video) and getting a special gun permit (more info later, after I ask my friend who had to go to Marysville for the permit)
For someone who resides in Yuba county and wish to apply for concealed weapons permit they need to visit the Sheriff's office in Marysville, I guess that's what you were talking about.
介紹多啲舊時唐人街
Chinatown rocks, Chinatown table, *smile*
ya wtf is a chiantown rock and chiantown table hahaha i tripped over that lol
[If your interested] I recommend watching the Marysville Bomb Day(I believe that's what its called) It's also on here on yt.
6:30 I d k what's it called. But its a good fortune ring competition. It starts with a ring place on a fire cracker that is also place on top of a wooden log. When it explodes. The competitors would try to catch the good luck ring. This is part of the celebration of the bok kai parade.
9:34 forgot about them cats.
I had never heard of bomb day my entire life until Marysville lol
Fascinating! I do want to visit this and other 唐人街， besides 旧金山的唐人街。
There are a bunch lol
@@jacks_off_to I know.
@@JoshKoehnapolyglot I think Fiddletown might be the last one on my list for Norcal, then it's Socal time!
There was also a Chinatown in Colusa CA. Last time I went to Colusa CA (2016), I still saw some buildings remain, you might want to go check out Chinatown in Colusa CA someday.
Once the Oroville Temple is open I will go visit Colusa as well! Do you have any additional information, like where the old Chinatown is located? Thanks!!
@@jacks_off_to The closest physical address is 707 Main St. Colusa, CA. You will also see a plaque (745 Main St) about the Colusa Chinatown.
In Colusa there was an infamous lynching incident to a Chinese ethic resident Hong Di back in 1887 (Hong Di was accused of shoting and killing his employer).
@@1sfgmen THIS IS GOLDEN!! THANKS!!!
@@jacks_off_to the oroville museum and temple is open im planning a trip soon
I met the docent of the Maysville temple more than 30 years ago who happened to be the older brother of my former PE teacher at Francisco Junior High School, Mr. Thomas Kim.
