Lodi, city, San Joaquin county, central California, U.S. Lodi lies along the Mokelumne River at the junction of the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys just northeast of Stockton, on the edge of the Sacramento River delta. It originated as Mokelumne Station (1869) on the Central Pacific (later part of the Southern Pacific) Railroad. In 1873 it was renamed, presumably for a famous racehorse of the time. The city has long been known for its wines, notably Tokay, which is produced from a locally developed grape (the Flame Tokay). It is also a packing and processing centre for cereals, fruits, nuts, and vegetables from the surrounding agricultural area and has light industry. Micke Grove Regional Park contains a zoo, Japanese and rose gardens, and the San Joaquin County Historical Society and Museum. Camanche Dam and Reservoir is 15 miles (25 km) east. Inc. 1906. Pop. (2000) 56,999; (2010) 62,134.
