Description
China Camp State Park is located in Marin County, California and surrounds a historic Chinese American shrimp-fishing village and salt marsh. China Camp is situated on the shore of San Pablo Bay and was one of a dozen or more thriving fishing villages in the mid to late 1800s. The village housed the Chinese immigrants who labored for John McNear in his dairy or brick manufacturing plant. In order to provide a better quality of life for their families, the men began fishing for shrimp. The shrimping business was shut down due to the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and a series of laws that outlawed their bag nets. The final blow to shrimp fishing came in the 1960s with the diversion of the water from the river that flowed into the bay to farms and residents of Southern California.
