Stockton's Flora & Fauna
Stockton is home to the Mobile-Tensaw Delta, the 2nd largest Delta in the country!
The Evening Primrose is native to Stockton and North Baldwin County. It was identified by William Bartram during his visit to Stockton and the Tensaw Settlement in 1775.
Stockton is quickly becoming a destination for canoeing and kayaking. Many enthusiasts follow Bartram's Canoe Trail, camping on platforms in the Delta near Stockton.
