There is an important message:

As one of the largest cities in the state, Stockton cites agriculture as its primary industry and aims to protect, preserve and document its local heritage. Though the city cycled through several names—including Tuleburg and Mudville—it was ultimately named after Commodore Robert F. Stockton, making it the first city in California to bear an English appellation. Today, residents and visitors alike can explore the city’s agriculture and history through a visit to the Haggin Museum or events like the annual Stockton Asparagus Festival.
