SERVPRO Helps Stockton Residents Stay Secure After Fire Damage
Stockton is a busy and famous California city of some 312,697 residents. Stockton is a natural inland seaport whose waterways have made it popular with human inhabitants for centuries. It is also the first city in California to be given a non-native and non-Spanish name.
Stockton became popular with traders during the California Gold Rush. During that period, sailors could access Stockton from the San Joaquin River, and from there, could sail to the sea. Its natural position made Stockton a famous stop for traders.
During the mid-nineteenth century, Stockton had an influx of Chinese immigrants. Gold seekers also arrived from around the globe, including Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the Pacific Islands. It is the site of the first Sikh temple in North America. The many influences have made Stockton a fascinating and multi-cultural city, with festivals, art, restaurants, and people that reflect its diverse history. You can spot many murals on the downtown buildings that tell the story of Stockton's past.
