Welcome to Fullerton, California.
Fullerton is a city located in northern Orange County, California, USA. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 126,003.
It was founded in 1887 by George and Edward Amerige and named for George H. Fullerton, who secured the land on behalf of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. Historically it was a center of agriculture, notably groves of Valencia oranges and other citrus crops; petroleum extraction; transportation; and manufacturing.
It is home to several educational institutions, notably the California State University, Fullerton (CSUF).
The city of Fullerton is located 28.1 miles west of downtown Los Angeles. The city is a community proud of its heritage and its vision looking forwards towards the future. Unlike many Orange County cities, Fullerton has maintained its historic landmarks which serve to remind the residents of the many changes that have taken place over the years. The preservation of its rich heritage has helped Fullerton, and had remained that very special place it is today.
Among Fullerton's manufactures are aerospace equipment, canned foods, electrical and electronic components, navigation systems, and laboratory instruments. There are also oil wells. The city is the seat of California State Univ. Fullerton and Fullerton College. Muckenthaler Center houses two symphony orchestras, a theater group, and art galleries.

Fullerton is home to a vibrant music scene. It was a center for the Orange County hardcore punk music, scene, producing acts such as The Adolescents, Agent Orange, Social Distortion, and Thrice.
Gwen Stefani, lead vocalist of the alternative rock group No Doubt, was a student at CSUF and the group performed there regularly. Other popular groups from the area include The Offspring and Lit. Contributing greatly to Fullerton's musical heritage was the Fender musical instrument company, whose products such as the Stratocaster and Telecaster electric guitars, Precision Bass bass guitar, and Twin Reverb guitar amplifier revolutionized the music business and contributed greatly to the development of rock and roll.
Downtown Fullerton offers a rustic old town atmosphere with a cluster of more than 70 historic buildings, beautiful shade trees, and decorative walkways, providing a comfortable setting to gather with friends, enjoy music, and catch up on the latest news. Downtown is equipped with more than 2,500 "free" public parking spaces to support the over 350,000 square feet of retail and more than 275,000 square feet of office space. Another fountain, recently installed at the Museum Center, entertains and refreshes. And, the downtown is more than just another shopping center - it also serves as a vibrant cultural center with facilities, such as the award-winning Museum Center, the Downtown Plaza, and Plummer Auditorium. It is also home to financial, religious, and governmental institutions, as well as a bustling regional transportation center that serves more than 350,000 passengers every year.

Tom Daly's $10,000,000 Headache
Well, no that's not quite right. Headache would imply that County Clerk Tom Daly cares he blew $2,100,000 of public money on a real estate venture and that it could cost another $7,600,000 to fix the problem; or that he is in any way worried about it. And why should he be? When there's no accountability you never even have to say you're sorry. Read more.
Blue County Passes Along Comical Sidhu "Hit" Piece
Some dude named Chris Prevatt at a blog called "the Liberal OC" has decided to pass along that ludicrous piece of spam mail "hit-piece" we posted about yesterday - sent all the way from India!
