Philly's Chinatown Started Here Circa 1870

According to an article about Chinatowns in the United States in yesterday's Philadelphia Inquirer, starting on the front page, Philadelphia Chinatown dates to 1870, when a man named Lee Fong started a laundry at 913 Race Street. I used circa, above, because online I see various dates, such as 1869 and 1871.
