| San Joaquin County
was one of the original counties
of California, created in 1850 at the time of statehood. County Seat: Stockton Year Organized: 1850 Square Miles: 1,399 The county takes its name from the San Joaquin River. In the early 1800s Lieutenant Gabriel Moraga, commanding an expedition in the lower great California Central Valley, gave the name of San Joaquin (meaning Joachim) to a rivulet that springs from the Sierra Nevada and empties into Buena Vista Lake. San Joaquin County is also home to the site of the San Joaquin Valley's first permanent residence.  |
