Stockton Methodist Church
E side Hwy. 59, Stockton, ALIn 1845 Methodists and Presbyterians in the Stockton area worshiped together. Stockton was a farming and lumber community with water and road connections. It was not until 1885 that the Methodists officially organized.
A church was constructed shortly thereafter but was destroyed by fire. After the 1926 hurricane the congregation purchased a lot from the state for $350 and dismantled an old schoolhouse on the property. One of the congregation, A. J. Helton, used the older materials in constructing a new church. This explains the church's older appearance. The building was dedicated in 1929.
Listed in National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
