The guide was updated:
Stockton is located in San Joaquin County in California’s great Central Valley. We have grown from a community of rich agricultural and educational roots to an urban destination blooming with arts, culture, fine dining, shopping, sports, recreation, fine agricultural products, and family activities.
Whether you are here for business or pleasure, visiting friends or family, or just passing through, we encourage you to discover the many wonders of Stockton. Be sure to visit our Downtown Stockton Waterfront where you’ll find the Stockton Marina, Adventist Health Arena, Stockton (Banner Island) Ballpark, Regal City Centre Cinema, Weber Point Events Center, and the Visit Stockton office. Not far from there you can bask in the splendor of a historic Fox California Theatre, the Bob Hope Theatre. Great shopping and rich dining experiences await you throughout the city. During your stay in one of our many fine hotels, you may also wish to taste the exquisite wines from the neighboring Lodi Wine Appellation or tour the historic towns of the Gold Rush in the foothills to our east.
Since the 1940s, there have been major commercial and residential developments in Stockton. Industrial growth has been accompanied by residential developments. Stockton supports very active and world-renowned talent including a civic theater, symphony, opera, and chorale groups. The Haggin Museum is rich in collections and exhibits that tell the stories of local and California history. The museum also owns important works by late 19th and early 20th century artists.
Stockton has been culturally and ethnically diverse since its beginning as a muddy-street gold-rush camp. This diverse community includes a large Chinese, Mexican, Japanese, and Filipino population. Today’s diversity is reflected in Stockton street names, architecture, and in the faces and heritage of its citizens. Throughout the year, multicultural festivals reflect that diversity in the microcosm that Stockton has become for the world.
