- Established on a local racetrack at Stockton,
county seat of San Joaquin County, in May 1861, the Civil War
post was named for Henry Wagner Halleck
California's first secretary of state during its military
government, 1846-50 and later a Major General in the California
State Militia and General in Chief of the Union Army. Seven
hundred men from the 3rd California Volunteers
in Benecia were stationed here. On July 12, 600 men left the
post on an overland march to Salt Lake City to establish Camp
(now Fort) Douglas. Camp Halleck wars abandoned sometime in 1863.
