Westminster

Among the cities of California, Westminster stands out as the historic center of Little Saigon, one of the United States’ most important Vietnamese American districts. The city occupies northern Orange County’s coastal plain, with the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve and the Pacific coast nearby. Vietnamese refugees and immigrants, especially after 1975, shaped the commercial corridors around Bolsa Avenue, where Vietnamese-language shops, restaurants and markets remain central to daily life. Asian Garden Mall, locally known as Phước Lộc Thọ, is a prominent gathering place and symbol of the district. Westminster is defined less by a conventional downtown than by this active diasporic community, its food and its retail streets.
