Did you know Detroit has a Chinatown? 🧧🏙️ Detroit’s Chinatown holds more than 150 years of history shaped by Chinese immigrants who built businesses, community, and cultural traditions that continue today. The city’s first Chinatown began in the late 1800s around Third Avenue and Porter Street, near where @mgmgranddetroit stands now. In the 1950s and 60s, the original Chinatown was displaced by urban renewal and highway construction, leading the district to relocate to Cass and Peterboro where it has remained ever since. 📍 For decades, Cass and Peterboro served as a hub of Chinese American life in Detroit. Restaurants, grocers, and community spaces anchored the neighborhood. Though the residents in the area decreased following the move and over the decades, the legacy is still evolving. Last summer, the Detroit Chinatown Vision Committee @det313chinatownvision hosted the first annual Chinatown Block Party, bringing the Detroit community together in celebration of the area’s next chapter. The block party will return this year on Saturday, July 25! 🎉🏮 New plans shaped by community feedback for the streetscape along Peterboro were just released today by Midtown Detroit Inc., and include public space improvements and placemaking designed to strengthen the district’s identity for future generations. In 2025, the City of Detroit also unveiled Vincent Chin Street in Chinatown, honoring his legacy and the impact of Detroit’s Chinese American community. With Lunar New Year here, there’s no better time to visit and learn more about this part of Detroit’s history and culture! Celebrate with a meal at @thepeterboro, explore the neighborhood, and take time to learn the story behind Detroit’s Chinatown. 🎆 Have you been to Detroit’s Chinatown?
