About Fullerton, California:
Established in 1887 along the fringe of the California coastal plain, Fullerton was founded by brothers George and Edward Amerige and named after railroad executive George H. Fullerton, who brought the first rail line through. The city was incorporated in 1904. It grew steadily through the 1920s, which saw the transformation of the area's green and gold fields of wild mustard into groves of Valencia oranges, walnuts and avocado, along with a smattering of oil rigs. During its infancy, Fullerton was a typical Western town with roughnecks from the railroad construction camps and frequent gunfights in saloons. Today, Fullerton is a city of contrasts, having neither succumbed to urbanization nor retained its rural status. The 1920s heralded an economic boost for the city, sparked in part by booming oil production in the hills on the city's northern edge. Fullerton entered the air age in 1927, when pioneer aviators William and Robert Dowling persuaded the city to establish an airfield on land that previously had been a hog farm and sewer basin. Today, Fullerton Municipal Airport is the oldest and largest general aviation field still in its original location in Orange County with 200,000 private aircraft arrivals and departures each year. Fullerton recently had become an educational center and art community. Art galleries, clothing boutiques, small restaurants and gift shops have replaced the pawn shops and used-furniture stores that once lined the city's thoroughfares. Yet Fullerotn civic leaders cherish its history and architecture, preferring to rehabilitate rather than remove the century-old buildings that still stand downtown. The city has also restored the Fox Fullerton theater, where "talkies" debuted in Orange County and where Mary Pickforrd and Douglas Fairbanks Sr. once appeared in person.
