History

The city was named after Grand Rapids, Michigan lawyer Edward Philo Fuller (1820–1866). In the 1880s, Edward Fuller was a major investor in the Dickey County land acquisitions with his daughter and son-in-law, Sofia (Fuller) Sweet (1854–1923) and her husband, Grand Rapids mayor Edwin Forrest Sweet (1847–1935). Sweet Ranch was located just to the southwest of what would later become the town of Fullerton.

In 1887, Fullerton's original town plots were surveyed and the Soo Line Railroad through the town site was completed in September 1887. A post office was established at Fullerton in 1888, and remained in operation until 1989. [4] [5] [6] [7]
