Public Swimming Pool and Hospital

Fullerton was planned for 3,500 people and 700 mill employees. The 1910 census found about 1,550 residents and some 660 employees, and perhaps 500 residents were Black; the 1920 census counted 2,412. A 1927 account put the peak near 4,000, and other estimates run from 2,500 to 5,000, so the true figure is uncertain. The company owned about 500 tenant houses. Beyond the mill doctors, the town had a dentist, Dr. Holmes O'Quinn, and a druggist, William Winham, listed in 1920.
