Little Saigon is a name given to any of several overseas Vietnamese immigrant and descendant communities outside Vietnam, especially in the United States and Australia (for other similar Vietnamese communities outside Vietnam, refer to the Viet Kieu article). Saigon is the former name of the capital of the former South Vietnam, where a large number of first-generation Vietnamese immigrants originate. There has been relatively little direct immigration to the United States from the northern portions of Vietnam, although more than 2 million North Vietnamese had already immigrated to the South during the partitioning of the country in 1954 and many of these subsequently immigrated to the U.S. from the South. This lack of immigration is partly due to the fact that the United States had refused to admit refugees from northern Vietnam. (In the mid-1990s, relations between the U.S. and Vietnam improved under President Bill Clinton, although many old-guard Vietnamese anti-Communists—many of them veterans of the ARVN in the Vietnam War—in several Little Saigon communities still strongly oppose formal U.S. diplomatic relations with Vietnam.). Today, comparatively newer Vietnamese immigrant arrivals hail from diverse regions from throughout Vietnam. ...more on Wikipedia about "Little Saigon"
