Walnut Grove Japanese-American Historic District, Japanese American historic district in Walnut Grove, United States.

The Walnut Grove Japanese-American Historic District spans 5 acres, featuring wooden buildings and commercial structures from the early twentieth century along River Road.

Japanese immigrants established their first business in 1896, creating a community that grew until 1942 when Executive Order 9066 forced residents to relocate.

The district contained numerous Japanese establishments including a Buddhist church, language school, bathhouses, markets, and restaurants serving traditional cuisine.

Located at coordinates 38.243202, -121.512085, the district is bounded by Winnie Street, Tyler Street, C Street, and River Road in Sacramento County.

After a devastating fire in 1915, Japanese builders from nearby cities volunteered their skills to construct a new neighborhood called Kawashimo.
