The place

Pachappa Camp was founded in 1904 and is one of the earliest significant Korean settlements established in the United States. Located in downtown Riverside, California, it was founded by Ahn Changho, one of the earliest Korean immigrants to the United States and a prominent Korean independence activist. The settlement was active until 1918 and at peak season hosted nearly 300 people. Pachappa Camp is labeled the first Korean settlement in the United States by several historians and the Riverside City government. On March 23, 2017, the Riverside City Council designated the Pachappa Camp site as a "Point of Cultural Interest".
