In 2007, the U.S. government officially recognized this Cambodian-rich area with its name, " Cambodia Town."

Approximately 50,000 Cambodians were reported to live in Long Beach, which is home to the second largest population of Cambodians outside of Southeast Asia and the city has its own Cambodian consulate.

Many of the Cambodian-Americans came to the United States as refugees in the 1970s. The Cambodian immigrants and their descendents celebrate their traditions and culture by sharing these events with the American community surrounding Cambodia Town.
