==History==
Stockton is located along the Delaware River north of Lambertville. The community was first known as Reading Ferry and later as Howell's Ferry. The name was changed to Centre Bridge Station to match the name of the post office and hamlet on the Pennsylvania side of the river. The name became Stockton with the creation of a local post office in 1851. The town was named in honor of U.S. Senator Robert Field Stockton, who was instrumental in the creation of the Delaware and Raritan Canal.〔(Stockton Borough History ), Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Accessed October 10, 2015. "In 1853 a new post office was built near the bridge and the town was named Stockton in honor of Senator Robert Field Stockton who helped to make the canal a reality, with which helped the new community to thrive."〕〔Hutchinson, Viola L. (''The Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945. Accessed October 10, 2015.〕 The Borough was incorporated in 1898, having been separated from Delaware Township.〔
