Located along the Delaware River, Stockton is a small borough of approximately 560 residents as of the 2000 census.
The borough was incorporated in 1898. This is a very charming town with one of it's main attractions being the Centre Bridge-Stockton Bridge connecting Stockton to Solebury, PA. You can click on each photo to enlarge.

Approximately a quarter mile east of the bridge is the D&R Canal path, a path we've been along several times over the last couple of months.
The Stockton Inn, supposedly immortalized by the Rogers and Hart song "There's a Small Hotel" from 1936 Broadway musical "On Your Toes" .
Along Bridge Street there are just a few little shops. This shop caught my eye, especially the horse painting.
This was a short and relaxing Sunday jaunt, we'll probably make another trip to Stockton to catch the last covered bridge in NJ which is in Sergeantsville and Prallsville Mills.

These photos are lovely! I especially love the center one with all the red captured so well.
Di - Thanks for stopping by! This is a very quaint little town about an hours drive. Not a bad thing to do on a Sunday. :-)
