Asian-Owned Businesses of Fort Collins
The history of Asian-owned businesses in Fort Collins is nearly as old as the city itself. The lure of prosperity drew many Asian-Americans west in the mid 1800’s.
When the gold rush began to lose its appeal and the railroads neared completion, people began to settle in the newly formed communities of the western United States. It was during this settling, in 1881, that the first Asian-owned business was established — a laundry run by Sam Lung.
For Fort Collins exists to help our community’s rich Asian-American history live on. By providing a platform for our Asian-owned businesses to connect with their community, we’ll see their success continue for generations to come.
