January 13
On January 13, 1903, 102 pioneer Korean immigrants arrived in the United States initiating the first chapter of Korean immigration to America. Since 1903, over 1 million Koreans have immigrated to the US. To celebrate the centennial year, the US Congress formally recognized January 13 as Korean American Day with bipartisan support. Later, in 2007, Korean American Day was recognized by Washington State.
