California Japantowns - Exploring the preservation of history, culture, and community...

Marysville

During the peak harvesting seasons, Marysville became the center of activity for the migrant Japanese laborers. By 1940, the town, concentrated in a 2-block radius alongside Chinatown, was comprised of 3 churches, 11 community organizations, 6 boarding houses, 2 hotels, 4 barbers, 3 garages, 2 beauty shops, and other businesses. Although the Buddhist Church of Marysville continues to provide a community gathering place, only a skeleton of the former town remains, with many Nikkei moving to larger cities for work.
