The Locke Historic District preserves the historic city of Locke, located within the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta agricultural region. The city was developed in 1915 by immigrants from China's Heungshan County, the modern-day site of Zhongshan, in Guangdong Province. Today, it stands as the United States' most complete preserved example of a rural agricultural Chinese-American community from the 20th century. Many former Chinese-American buildings are still in operation throughout the city, maintaining their historic character due to the city's designation as a National Historic Landmark in 1990. Attractions include the Chinese School, the Dai Loy Museum, the Chinese Cultural Shop, and the delightful Al the Wop's Saloon cocktail bar.
