Regarding To the Chinese men and women who came to Gold Mountain. Chinatowns within California often shifted their location. The relocation was usually prompted by fire or urban renewal. Front Street Chinatown, City of Santa Cruz is an example. When the Chinatown along Front Street was destroyed by fire in 1892, its displaced residents created the Blackburn Chinatown and the Birenseer’s Chinatown. However, Front Street Chinatown was rebuilt by 1894 and the other Chinatowns were abandoned with Front Street Chinatown once again became the Chinatown of the city. It persisted until 1955 when its dwindling population and urban renewal prompted its demise. Presently, the site is occupied by The Galleria, a multi-story retail and services center.
