History & geography

History

The community is most likely named for Francis Stockton, who was appointed in 1809 to select a site for the first Baldwin County courthouse. The Stockton post office first began operations in 1837. The U. S. Mail service delivered mail from Montgomery, Alabama by stage coach twice a week to Stockton. In 1855 the United States government started a mail service between Mobile, Stockton and Claiborne, Alabama. Steamship operators were awarded contracts for carrying the mail, each leaving Mobile twice a week and touching at Stockton, which was connected to Montgomery by a stagecoach line.
