Not sure if I ever replied to this or not... The Stockton State Hospital was in existance from 1854-1980ish.(sorry, can't recall just when it closed). In 1854 the old San Joaquin County Hospital was changed to Stockton State Insane Asylum. This was located on Hazelton St, if my memory serves me correctly. Later they moved to Magnolia Street/Calif Street area. The address is still Magnolia Street for information, etc... For requesting patient information on those buried at the Old State Hospital cemetery: Stockton State Hospital 510 E Magnolia St Stockton, CA 95205 NOTE: This from a 1960 book. I know the phone book shows 511 E. Magnolia for offices of the State Mental Health Services as of today (2001) I will say I have had no success with those at this address. I am told the records are no longer there. If you have success in obtaining records.. would love to know.
