Chinatown Conservation Area - Classified by Trust in 1983. In its heyday during the first decade of this century, Broome boasted a European population of nearly 1,000, with the ‘coloured’ population including boat crews being over 3,000. The accommodation of these populations was segregated into the ‘European Quarter’ with the usual institutions at its core, and the ‘Native Quarter’ where the Malay and Japanese pearl fishers lived and worked. This was the ‘native quarter’ of Broome where commercial and pearling operations were based.
This area became known as Chinatown and while it is a shadow if its former self, there is still enough surviving fabric to produce a distinctive environment.
