Locke, California. "On August 2, 1970, Locke was added to the registry of national historical places, by the Sacramento County Historical Society, because of its unique status as the only town in the United States built exclusively by the Chinese for the Chinese." http://www.locketown.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locke,_California May 10 09, 1:24 AM

Highest Chinese population I can find thus far is Monteret Park at 42.32%. Monterey Park, California Monterey Park is a city in Los Angeles County, California, United States. Monterey Park is 42.32% Chinese, making it the community in the United States with the largest population of Chinese descent. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monterey_Park,_California New York City’s Chinatown, the largest Chinatown in the United States—and the site of the largest concentration of Chinese in the western hemisphere—is located on the lower east side of Manhattan. http://www.ny.com/articles/chinatown.html May 10 09, 1:32 AM

Please note that the question does ask for a US city "solely inhabited" by Chinese people. The Wiki site concerning Locke states "Because of its relatively large population of Chinese people at the time..." "Relatively large" does not mean "solely inhabited" but rather "the majority". I think the correct answer to this question is none. May 10 09, 8:48 PM

Sorry, I misphrased the question, it should have been "What is the only city in the United States built exclusively by the Chinese FOR the Chinese... "the only town in the United States built exclusively by the Chinese for the Chinese." http://www.locketown.com/ May 11 09, 6:42 PM
