Exploring Portland’s Chinatowns
Travel back in time in
“Beyond the Gate’
Unbeknownst to many Oregonians, in 1900,
Portland was home to the second largest China-
town in the nation. While many locals have walked
through the gates leading into Northwest Portland’s
Old Town, few know the rich history of Portland’s
two historic Chinatowns and the stories of those who
made their home here.
