Reno ChinatownPresented by Historic Reno Preservation Society With Edan Strekal, Project Archivist, Special Collections, University of Nevada, Reno Like other mining and railroad towns in the American West, Reno had a Chinatown that originated with the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad. Displaced Chinese laborers in the Truckee Meadows built a bare-wood shantytown along the river on First Street between Virginia and Center streets. The only indication of Northern Nevada’s Chinese past is Nevada Historical Marker No. 29, located in Sparks.
