Then & Now
Historically, downtown Stockton began with a mix of thriving commercial ventures and colorful characters. Industrious citizens altered the natural waterways running through the city to alleviate flooding, coordinated interstate water and rail with local transportation systems, and optimized Stockton’s strategic geographic location at the crossroads of California. Today, Stockton continues to reinvent itself by taking the bold step of developing a Downtown Entertainment District and expanding downtown's role as the seat of government with a new, $96 million San Joaquin County Administration Building.
