OUR TAKE ON STOCKTON
Just like many areas in California, Stockton's history is also intertwined with the gold rush era in the 1800s. Stockton became the main camp of most miners and a lot of them stayed even after the gold rush was over. Because of this, you can expect diversity in Stockton's culture and way of life. Right now, Stockton is becoming popular among travelers once again but it is no longer because of its gold.
Rather, travelers are discovering the entertainment and leisure activities in their Stockton vacations. Notable features in the city include the vineyards that dot the San Joaquin Valley, as well as the Delta Waterway.
San Joaquin Valley is a paradise destination for wine connoisseurs. Meanwhile, the Delta Waterway gives travelers a chance to enjoy waterskiing and fishing. In addition, there are incredible scenic views you can savor on your Stockton vacations.
There are also events you should watch out for during your Stockton vacations, including the Stockton Asparagus Festival where asparagus is celebrated with food, songs, and dances. Another attraction you should definitely visit on your Stockton vacations is the Haggin Museum; it is a 70-year-old museum that combines the Stockton's history with art.
