About Stockton

Forget everything you know about Stockton.

It's all about to change.

From the roots of a rich agricultural history, Stockton continues to grow and welcome all. From the miners that made Stockton one of the most colorful cities in California's gold rush area, to today's vibrant economic and cultural renaissance, the city provides a unique experience.

Located where the San Joaquin / Sacramento Delta meets the Central Valley, Stockton offers exceptional recreational, educational, and cultural opportunities.  With over 1,200 miles of waterways, the California Delta provides an abundance of places to boat, sail or just relax along one of nature's beautiful settings.

Within recent years, Stockton has twice been designated as an All-American City and boasts a bustling port that welcomes freighters from around the world. The new multi-million dollar Stockton Arena, Stockton Ballpark, and Weber Point Events Center are conveniently located in downtown on the waterfront, and provide new venues for events and recreational use.
