History
The town started to develop in 1995 when the Chinatown Plaza was opened. This opened up the area since other businesses started to emerge. In 1999, the place had so many Chinese businesses such that the former Nevada Governor Kenny Guinn officially named it China town.
The town is quite small as compared to another town around it since the businesses only cover about half a mile along the Spring Mountain road.
According to history, the Chinese population was a minority for many years. The only way for them to get noticed and increase in population was for the investors to start businesses that would attract many more of them to the area. Businesses in the area started to thrive between the years 1960 and 1990 where there was a significant growth in the region.
The majority of the Chinese people worked in casinos, but as years went by, they diversified to venture into other businesses.
