	In early 1942, President Franklin Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, ordering Japanese Americans on the West Coast to be incarcerated in internment camps. The Japanese community in San Francisco was treated like an enemy alien population. Any person of Japanese ancestry was required to sell their belongings, give up their homes and move into temporary relocation camps (usually race tracks) while internment facilities were built in the interior of the country. (The Buddhist Temple on Octavia near Bush is where many Japanese stored their belongings during the internment. Some of the first people sent to the camps were Shinto, Buddhist and Presbyterian priests because they were community leaders.)

	Japanese Americans were considered spies and a threat to the war effort against Japan. Ironically, many Japanese Americans served as spies on the American side of the war and others left the camps to lose their lives on the battle field under the American flag.

	In the late 1800s, most Japanese lived on Rincon Hill, near South Park in the South of Market area. After the 1906 earthquake, the Japanese community moved out to the Western Addition near the intersection of Post and Laguna streets. There they established Nihonmachi or Japanese town, now known as Japantown.		In the late 1800s, most Japanese lived on Rincon Hill, near South Park in the South of Market area.

	The Japanese community proved resilient, however. Despite the atrocities committed against them during World War II, Japanese Americans returned to their homes after their incarceration in the camps and began the process of restoration. In San Francisco, although many Japanese Americans returned to their homes in Nihonmachi, some chose to move to the Richmond District.		The Japanese community proved resilient, however.

	A decade or so later, those in [[THE DESTRUCTION OF NIHONMACHI \|Nihonmachi]] were forced to move again. At this time, Geary Boulevard was widened to provide middle-class residents of the Sunset and Richmond districts a major thoroughfare into downtown. This widening also effectively divided Japantown from Western Addition and the Fillmore, separating Japanese American and African American communities from each other. Also at this time, the land for Japan Center was sold to Kintetsu Corporation to build as a neighborhood shopping center. The corporation razed the existing Japantown/Koreatown along Post Street and built a more corporate and tourist-oriented complex, displacing many small business owners and residents who could no longer afford to live or do business there.
