Stockton is a village in Jo Daviess County, Illinois, United States. The population was 1,862 at the 2010 census, down from 1,926 at the 2000 census.
History
[edit]The village of Stockton is the youngest village in Jo Daviess County.[6] It was established after the Minnesota Northwestern Railroad decided to build a station in Section 2 of Stockton Township in 1886, which through mergers later became named the Chicago Great Western Railway. The railroad tracks were removed in the early 1970s.[7]
What is now Front Street in Stockton was then a dirt road which served as the main thoroughfare to Lena. In April 1887, one Charles Hermann became Stockton's first business owner.[8]
In 1914, the Kraft Brothers opened a cheese factory in Stockton, and operated it until Kraft sold the facility in 1998.[9][10] This was the birthplace of the Kraft Corporation and the first cheese plant opened by J.L. Kraft.[11]
Geography
[edit]Stockton is located at 42°21′1″N 90°0′22″W / 42.35028°N 90.00611°W (42.350357, -90.006127).[12]
According to the 2010 census, Stockton has a total area of 1.6 square miles (4.14 km2), all land.[13]

Geology
[edit]Stockton is not part of the Driftless Area, but is the first municipality found outside of it, coming from western Jo Daviess County. One climbs out of the valley of the Upper Mississippi River and finds a high point in Stockton.
The village water tower sits on a ridge at elevation 1,105 ft (337 m)[5] that rises to 1,120 ft (340 m) to the west at the village limits. To the northwest the same ridge line continues where U.S. Route 20 crests at 1,077 ft (328 m) just to the west. This ridge line continues for 3 miles to the northwest to Benton Mound (1,204 ft; 367 m ), the second highest peak in Illinois.[18]
