title: History of Chinese Americans in Texas
text: Texas has a Chinese American population. As of the 2010 U.S. census, it is 0.6% Chinese with over 150,000 living there. Many live in Plano, Houston, and Sugar Land. After May 1869, a group of Chinese workers in the Western United States began moving to Texas, as there was a demand for labor in the post-American Civil War environment. Railroad companies in particular wanted workers to rebuild their infrastructure. In 1880, Robertson County had 72 ethnic Chinese, while the other 64 were elsewhere
