Editing Fullerton, North Dakota (section)

==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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.postalhistory.com/postoffices.asp?task=display&state=ND&county=Dickey |title=Dickey County |publisher=Jim Forte Postal History |access-date=October 15, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=RpgzAAAAIBAJ&sjid=lRUGAAAAIBAJ&pg=1059%2C1473877|title=Dickey County in pioneer days|work=The Oakes Times|date=July 6, 2006|access-date=October 15, 2015|pages=B4}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://fullertonnd.com/history |title=The Founding of Fullerton, North Dakota |website=Fullerton Community Betterment Association |access-date=March 1, 2020}}</ref>
