The following is from a work-in-progress about the history of Fullerton. You can support my ongoing research and writing on Patreon.
Fullerton has had a number of newspapers over the years. As part of my research, I plan to read all of them, many of which have been preserved in library archives. Here is a mini archive of top stories from Fullerton’s newspapers over the years. This is a work in progress.
Fullerton Tribune
Fullerton’s oldest newspaper, the Fullerton Tribune, was founded by editor Edgar Johnson in 1893. The Fullerton Public Library Local History room has microfilm archives of this paper. Click each year to read my highlights.

Fullerton Observer
The Fullerton Observer newspaper was formed in 1978 by Ralph and Natalie Kennedy and friends to provide a more progressive counterbalance to the more conservative Fullerton News-Tribune and Orange County Register. The Fullerton Public Library has digital archives of the Observer stretching back to 1979.
The Weekly Torch
Fullerton College’s weekly newspaper was called The Torch. The college library has digital archives of the Torch going back to 1923 (the college was founded in 1913.
