The city of Folsom had a thriving Chinese community of about 3,000 that was drawn by the gold mining in the area. The size and shape of the cemetery suggests that it was not planned well. Graves were reportedly dug wherever there was room, with no specific orientation or layout. The Chung Wah cemetery served Chinese immigrants of the Heungshan dialect while another local cemetery, Yeong Wo was built by people from the Chungshan district.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[1] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|2009a}} 2. ^{{cite news|title=Folsom seeks historical recognition for its Chinese cemeteries|last=Farrow|first=Ross|date=4 May 1995|work=Sacramento Bee|page=N3}} External links
