Walaupun pendatang dari Asia telah berada di bahagian Amerika Syarikat kontemporari sejak abad ke-17, imigresen berskala besar tidak bermula sehingga pertengahan abad ke-19. Undang-undang imigresen Nativist pada tahun 1880-an 1920-an mengecualikan pelbagai kumpulan Asia, akhirnya melarang hampir semua imigresen Asia ke benua Amerika Syarikat. Selepas undang-undang imigresen diperbaharui pada tahun 1940-an-60an, memansuhkan kuota asal negara, imigrasi Asia meningkat dengan pesat. Analisis banci 2010 telah menunjukkan bahawa Asia Amerika adalah minoriti kaum atau etnik minoriti yang paling pesat berkembang di Amerika Syarikat.[5]
