Little Manila: A look into the rich history of Filipino Americans in Stockton, California

By the early to mid 1900’s, Little Manila in South Stockton became home to one of the largest Filipino populations in the country. There were many firsts for the Stockton area because of the Filipino community from churches, shops, and clubs, according to Terry Torres with the Filipino American National Historical Society.

What use to stretch for several blocks off El Dorado Street to Downtown, not much remains of Little Manila. Most of the buildings have been torn down as urban development and a highway moved in.

ABC10 reporter, Ananda Rochita provides an inside look at what used to be Little Manila in Stockton.
