Living in Stockton: The Historic Pass

Stockton is the "Historic Pass" of Tooele County. Located at the narrow junction between the Great Salt Lake Valley and Rush Valley, it is a town defined by its mining heritage and rugged independence. It offers a quieter, grittier alternative to the northern cities, attracting buyers who want instant access to the Oquirrh Mountains and a true small-town atmosphere.

The town is currently securing its future. A major Water Infrastructure Upgrade is underway for 2026, modernizing the distribution lines to ensure resource stability for the next generation. For recreation, recent improvements to the Soldier Canyon access road have made the trip to the historic Jacob City Ghost Town easier than ever, cementing Stockton's status as the ultimate basecamp for off-roaders.
