=====Historic Chinatown=====
The [[Opium Wars]] of the 1840s and 1850s, along with the Gold Rush, brought many Chinese people to California. Most arrived at San Francisco, which was then the largest city in California and known as "Daai Fau" ({{zh|c=大埠|j=daai<sup>6</sup> fau<sup>6</sup>|cy=Daaihfauh}}). Some eventually came to Sacramento, then the second-largest city in California and consequently called "Yee Fow" ({{zh|links=no|c=二埠 |j=ji<sup>6</sup> fau<sup>6</sup>}}). Today the city is known as "{{lang|zh-Hans|萨克拉门托}}" ({{zh|p=Sàkèlāméntuō}}) by mainland Chinese and as "{{lang|zh-Hant|沙加緬度}}" ''Sāgāmíhndouh'' and ''Shājiāmiǎnduó'' by Cantonese speakers and Taiwanese respectively.[[File:Sacramento Chinatown 溯源堂 - panoramio.jpg|thumb|right|Sacramento's historic Chinatown]]Sacramento's [[Chinatowns in the United States|Chinatown]] was on "I" Street from Second to Sixth Streets, called the [[China Slough]]. At the time, this area of "I" Street was considered a health hazard because, lying within a levee zone, it was lower than other parts of the city, which were situated on higher land. Throughout Sacramento's Chinatown history, there were fires, acts of discrimination, and prejudicial legislation such as the [[Chinese Exclusion Act]] that was not repealed until 1943. The mysterious fires were thought to be set off by those who resented the Chinese working class.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.newsreview.com/sacramento/content?oid=344958 |title=Sacramento's Chinatown – News – Local Stories – June 28, 2007 |work=Sacramento News & Review |date=June 27, 2007 |access-date=November 16, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071009230841/http://www.newsreview.com/sacramento/Content?oid=344958 |archive-date=October 9, 2007 |url-status=live}}</ref> Ordinances on what was viable building material were set into place to try to get the Chinese to move out. Newspapers such as [[The Sacramento Union]] wrote stories at the time that portrayed the Chinese in an unfavorable light to inspire ethnic discrimination and drive the Chinese away. While most of Sacramento's Chinatown has now been razed, a small Chinatown mall remains as well as a museum dedicated to the history of Sacramento's Chinatown.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.yeefowmuseum.org/ |title=Friends of the Yee Fow Museum |publisher=Yee Fow Museum |access-date=November 16, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130107131139/http://www.yeefowmuseum.org/ |archive-date=January 7, 2013 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.yeefow.com/past/index.html |title=An Evidentiary Timeline on the History of Sacramento's Chinatown |publisher=Yee Fow Museum |access-date=November 16, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120304082409/http://www.yeefow.com/past/index.html |archive-date=March 4, 2012 |url-status=live}}</ref>
