Chinatown in Denver, Colorado, was a Chinatown in what is now the LoDo section of the city. The June 29, 1869, Colorado Tribune announced "the first John Chinaman in Denver." By 1880 the census listed 238 Chinese people living in Denver, and a Chinese consul visiting Denver estimated 450. Also referred to as "Hop Alley," Chinatown extended from approximately 15th St. to 20th St., and from Market St. to Wazee St. A race riot on October 31, 1880, killed one Chinese man and ransacked or burned much of Chinatown. A plaque on the southeast corner of 20th St. and Blake St. commemorates the riot and former Chinatown.
