History
A post office called Fullertown was established in 1879, and remained in operation until 1906. The community was named for Thomas Fuller, an early settler.
There aren't many signs remaining these days that Fullertown even existed as a village; plus, it's within the confines of
Newbury Township which is a shrinking community and has lost its school, grocery store, hardware store and many other businesses in recent decades, so most Fullertown residents favor Chesterland which has a lot of what they need, and they avoid going to the center of Newbury Township altogether.
