Following the contemporary era in the late 1800s, Incheon had a cordial relationship with China. By agreeing to the China-Korea Treaty of 1882 with China in 1882, Korea established modern trade. With the Incheon Port's inauguration in 1883 and Incheon's classification as a Ching Dynasty extraterritoriality, the city's Chinatown neighborhood was born. Following this, the "Incheon Chinese Society" was officially founded in the current Incheon in 1885. According to a record from 1883, 63 Chinese people resided there. In a year, they grew to 235 individuals. They expanded to 637 persons in 1892, and by the beginning of 1900, they had reached around 1000 people. There are 50,000 overseas Chinese people residing in Incheon as of 2015. The relationship between Korea and China was enhanced through Incheon Chinatown. Incheon's Chinatown has a more than 100-year history.

The majority of the Chinese people that live in Chinatown now are second or third-generation descendants of the first Chinese settlers.
