History of Fullerton
Long ago, a place near Fullerton called "Buffalo Leap" was important. Native American people might have used it to hunt buffalo. Today, this spot is part of the Broken Arrow Wilderness Camp. It is located just north of Fullerton.
In 1856, the Fullerton area became part of a special area for the Pawnee tribe. This meant new settlers could not claim land there. However, in 1871, the land was sold. Randall Fuller bought a lot of this land. He then gave some of it for public use. The town was officially planned around 1878 and was named after him.
