How Broadmoor was built
Broadmoor is 121 homes on 36.4 acres, built in the middle of the 1970s, which is loose ground for Fullerton, and its street names are older than the houses. Pioneer Avenue, Hale Avenue and Mountain View Place belong to the vocabulary of a settlement rather than a subdivision, and Dana Place carries a name that runs through the whole California coast.
Fullerton itself began in 1887, when George and Edward Amerige laid out the townsite at what is now Harbor Boulevard and Commonwealth Avenue. The town was named for George H. Fullerton, president of the Pacific Land and Improvement Company, a subsidiary of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, and it grew for decades on Valencia oranges, other citrus and then oil.
