Stockton is within close proximity to world famous scenic attractions, including the California coast, San Francisco, Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park. Stockton is one of California's fastest growing cities and has a dynamic, multi-ethnic and multi-cultural population. Stockton was recently voted the "Best Tree City" in the western United States and with over 100,000 trees, it's easy and enjoyable to get lost in the foliage.
Stockton serves perfectly as a central location to other points of interest in California, such as the ones listed above, or as a destination in and of itself if one wishes to take advantage of the San Joaquin Delta waterway or other recreational opportunities. The city itself has a higher than average concentration of historic buildings and one may marvel at the bygone days of architectural opulence in one of the surrounding suburbs or during one of the shows at the Bob Hope Theatre. There are many exciting things to experience in Stockton; with a professional baseball team, an Olympic size ice rink, and the California Delta, which provides an opportunity for water skiing, sailing and other water activities, there is certainly no lack of things to do in this sun-filled California city.
Stockton is located at the junction of I-5 and Highway 4 just 83 miles east of San Francisco, and 45 miles south of Sacramento, the capital of California.
