Stockport is a village in Morgan County, Ohio, United States, along the Muskingum River.
The area was part of what was called the Donation Tract in the Northwest Territory, a portion of 100,000 acres for which Congress authorized grants of 100 acres in 1792 to any male 18 years of older who would settle the land at the time of deed.
Congress was seeking to support the development and settlement of adjacent lands owned by the Ohio Company of Associates.
The Donation Tract was designed for quick settlement and to serve as a buffer for the Company lands from Native American raids.
Several tribes had allied in the Northwest Territory in an effort to expel European-American settlers, and armed conflicts had been underway since 1785.

The racial makeup of the village was 95.00% White, 2.04% African American, and 2.96% from two or more races.
