Stockton Today. Stockton is the County seat for San Joaquin County. The City of Stockton is one of California's fastest growing communities. Stockton is currently the 13th largest city in California with a dynamic, multi-ethnic and multi-cultural population of about 300,000.
Between 1900-1929, nine million Italians left home, primarily from Southern Italy and Sicily. Some came as birds of passage and some immigrants permanently made California their new home. The city of Stockton, San Joaquin County, was founded in 1849 by German immigrant Captain Charles Weber who was also a farmer. Stocktonâs agricultural roots continue to the twenty first century as produce is shipped around the state, country and globe.
