1939, Dragon Road sign in China City. Christine Sterling, the civic leader who created Olvera Street, created a similar project for the Chinese American community. China City covered the entire city block from Spring on the west to Main on the east and from Macy (now César Chávez) on the south to Ord on the north, with gates on Main Street, Spring Street, and Ord. By 1935, the development had the atmosphere of a Chinese village or small town, with booths and stalls along narrow winding streets. Unfortunately, due to two major fires over a ten-year period, China City came to an end by the early 1950s. (Herman J Schultheis Collection) https://buff.ly/3C0aN90.
