Informations supplémentaires:
The small country white church, Saint Francis Xavier, located in Chinese Camp, California, USA. The church was built in 1854 in this town originally populated by Chinese immigrants to the United States. The church is surrounded by old tombstones from the past. The population was 126 at the 2010 census, down from 146 at the 2000 census. It lies in the grassy foothills of the Sierra Nevada near the southern end of California's Gold Country. Chinese Camp is the remnant of a notable California Gold Rush mining town. The settlement was first known as "Camp Washington" or "Washingtonville" and one of the few remaining streets is Washington Street. Some of the very first Chinese laborers arriving in California in 1849 were driven from neighboring Camp Salvado and resettled here, and the area started to become known as "Chinee" or "Chinese Camp" or "Chinese Diggings". At one point the town was home to an estimated 5, 000 Chinese.
