History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

The area was first settled circa 1810. The town of Stockton was formed in 1821 from territory taken from the town of Chautauqua. Predation by wolves was a more severe problem in this town than neighboring communities. In 1850, the town was increased in size by adding territory from the town of Ellery.
