It sits along the San Joaquin Delta which connects to the San Francisco Bay and the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers. Considered as one of California's fastest growing communities with an estimated population of 300,000, it is well known for its multiethnic and multicultural neighborhoods, and for its universities including the University of the Pacific, California State University Stanislaus-Stockton, San Joaquin Delta Community College, Humphreys College and School of Law.
