In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we’re sharing AAPI history. AAPI heritage is all around us, including in our own communities. Here is a look at history where some of our Areté Living communities reside.
Portland, Oregon is home to one of the most authentic Japanese gardens outside of Japan. Inspired in the late 1950s, its purpose was to provide citizens with a serene garden while forging a healing connection to Japan following World War II. The Portland Japanese Garden opened in 1967 and remains a beloved destination for visitors and locals today.
The gold strikes of the 1860s in the Pacific Northwest attracted Chinese immigrants to eastern Washington. By the 1870s, many Chinese laborers were recruited to work on railroad construction, in logging camps, and in salmon canneries. Japanese immigrants later came to Washington for similar employment opportunities.
Utah was a key resettlement state following the Vietnam War. The Asian Association of Utah offered support for refugees, including housing and other basic needs. About 12,000 refugees from Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia settled in Utah between 1975 and 1990.
The transcontinental railroad linked the eastern and western United States. The Central Pacific workers started in Sacramento, California, and the Union Pacific workers began in Omaha, Nebraska, meeting at Promontory Summit, Utah. Chinese American workers were integral to this monumental project, making up most of the railroad workforce.
