Book excerpt: Between 1850 and 1950, Stockton grew from gold rush depot to booming California metropolis. Capitalizing on its abundance of water and rich soils, Mediterranean-like climate, hard-working population, and efficient transportation system, Stockton quickly became an epicenter of “the breadbasket of the world.” The historic downtown skyline reflects the abundance and adversity of California’s Central Valley over the years, and Stockton’s ever-changing, ever-expanding role as a modern city.
