Truckee's [[Anti-Chinese sentiment in the United States|Sinophobic movement]] had begun during the [[Reconstruction Period]], marked by the [[Trout Creek Outrage]] of 1876:

<blockquote><p>By 1876, some 300 of the town’s residents, from workers to its most prominent citizens, had formed a local chapter of the Order of the Caucasians, also known as the [[White League|Caucasian League]], to drive out the Chinese. Truckee gained statewide notoriety that summer when late one night seven of the group's members, clad in black, surrounded and set fire to two cabins full of Chinese woodcutters who had refused to leave the area. The vigilantes shot at the Chinese men as they ran out of the cabin, killing forty-five-year-old Ah Ling.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Goodman |first1=Adam |title=The Deportation Machine: America's Long History of Expelling Immigrants |date=June 23, 2020 |publisher=Princeton University Press |isbn=978-0691182155 |page=15 |edition=1st |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Sju-DwAAQBAJ |access-date=14 October 2020}}</ref></p></blockquote>

[[Charles Fayette McGlashan]], local lawyer and owner/publisher of the ''Truckee Republican'', defended those accused in the Trout Creek Outrage and was a leader in the town's anti-Chinese movement. In 1886, the town's Chinese inhabitants, about 1,400 in number, were expelled from Truckee as part of a campaign that included a boycott of any business that did business with Chinese.<ref name="Osborn2004">{{cite news |last1=Osborn |first1=Barbara Barte |title=Old Chinese herb shop getting a face-lift |url=http://www.chssc.org/history/chinatowns/truckee/chinatowntruckee.html |access-date=August 28, 2021 |work=Sacramento Bee |date=March 11, 2004 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081217064917/http://www.chssc.org/history/chinatowns/truckee/chinatowntruckee.html |archive-date=December 17, 2008}}</ref>
