It has also been claimed to be the longest continuously running Chinese community outside of Asia, but only because the [[1906 San Francisco earthquake]] all but destroyed the Chinatown in San Francisco in California.<ref name="Bacon, Daniel page 50">Bacon, Daniel: Walking the Barbary Coast Trail 2nd ed., page 50, Quicksilver Press, 1997</ref><ref name="Richards, Rand page 198">Richards, Rand: ''Historic San Francisco'', 2nd Ed., page 198, Heritage House Publishers, 2007</ref><ref name="Morris p151-152"> Morris, Charles: San Francisco Calamity by Earthquake and Fire, pgs. 151-152, University of Illinois Press, 2002</ref> [[Chinatown, Sydney|Sydney's main Chinatown]] centers on Sussex Street in the Sydney downtown.
