Stockton Main is the Tandem office for the SBC northern valley region and AT&Ts Toll Office.  At one time Stockton had microwave service see: Northern California Microwave Sites Page 2

During the Long Lines period, AT&T classified Stockton as a Class 2 Sectional office.  Direct trunk connections were established between Stockton and the Fresno primary office and Sacramento Regional office. Stockton had L-3 cables to Lodi and a branch connected to Manteca (part of the Modesto-Hayward cable).  Today fiber connects Stockton with Lodi, Fresno, Sacramento, Oakland and Modesto.
