Chinatown is a neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago, along S. Wentworth Avenue between Cermak Road and W. 26th St. Over a third of Chicago's Chinese population resides in this ethnic enclave, making it one of the largest concentrations of Chinese-Americans in the United States.[3] It formed around 1912, after settlers moved south from near the Loop, where the first enclaves were established in the 19th century.
For the neighborhood also known as New Chinatown, see West Argyle Street Historic District.
