The history of San Joaquin can be traced back to 1848 when it was established as one of the original counties in California. At that time, it consisted of all of what are now Kern, Kings and Tulare counties. In 1853, parts of Fresno County were added to San Joaquin County, and in 1898, more territory was added from Fresno County and Madera County. In 1903, San Joaquin County had its largest population ever with 915,844 people living within its boundaries. However by 2010 the population had decreased to 2,972,621 people due to suburbanization and migration out of the area.

The economy of San Joaquin is based on agriculture (especially cotton), manufacturing (particularly automotive components), services (including health care), and trade (especially with other agricultural producers). The agricultural sector employs about two-thirds of the workforce while manufacturing employs about one-third. Services make up the remainder of the workforce.
