History
Worcester County, Maryland County was separated from Somerset in 1742, and by 1774 Sandy Hill had grown large enough to merit a chapel of ease within All Hallows' Parish, today called Holy Cross Chapel. Today, Stockton residents are as likely to work at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility Island Flight Facility on the Eastern Shore of Virginia than to be farmers or Fishing industry|watermen. The population was 143 at the 2000 census.
Stockton, originally called Sandy Hill, grew up at the crossing of the post road from Snow Hill, Maryland Hill south to Virginia (whose track is generally followed by modern Maryland Route 12) with the road from Mattapony Landing on the Pocomoke River to the Chincoteague Bay (the eastern part of which is now Maryland Route 366), where ocean-going vessels could drop anchor. The center of Stockton was destroyed by fire in 1906, but was soon rebuilt, with many of the new buildings constructed of brick. Holy Cross Chapel stopped holding regular services in 1943.
