About Fullerton
Fullerton is a historic northern Orange County city with a genuine downtown — the SoCo District's brick buildings house restaurants, the Fox Theatre marquee, and a farmers market. Cal State Fullerton and Fullerton College give it a college-town layer, while the Fullerton Arboretum and the Brea Dam area provide green space. The city blends historic neighborhoods (the Chapman Avenue historic district) with the Amerige Heights and Coyote Hills planned communities.
