Stockton is a city in Muscatine County, Iowa, United States. The population was 176 at the time of the 2020 census. It is part of the Muscatine Micropolitan Statistical Area. Stockton was laid out at the time the railroad was built through it. Stockton was a depot on the Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific Railroad. According to the 2019 US Census, the Stockton population is estimated at 189 people. 

Because of the low population, many residents travel outside the city for their needs. Surrounding towns include Durant, Walcott, and the Quad Cities. The Quad Cities is a region of cities in the U.S. states of Iowa and Illinois: Davenport and Bettendorf in southeastern Iowa, and Rock Island, Moline, and East Moline in northwestern Illinois. The history of urban settlements in the Quad Cities was stimulated by riverboat traffic. For 14 miles (23 km) between LeClaire, Iowa, and Rock Island, the Mississippi River flowed across a series of finger-like rock projections protruding from either bank. These rapids were difficult for steamboats to traverse. As demand for river-based transportation increased along the upper Mississippi, the navigability of the river throughout the "Rock Island Rapids" became a greater concern. Over time, a minor industry grew up in the area to meet the steamboats' needs. Boat crews needed rest areas to stop before encountering the rapids, places to hire expert pilots such as Phillip Suiter, who was the first licensed pilot on the upper Mississippi River, to guide the boat through the rocky waters, or, when the water was low, places where goods could be removed and transported by wagon on land past the rapids. Today, the rocks are submerged six feet underwater by a lake formed by two locks and dams.
