"There is a secret in building a town," George H. Amerige wrote in 1937. "Do you want to know what it is?"
"It takes a stiff backbone, a spirit of progressiveness and determination to win out, and a disposition that can stand all sorts of criticism."
George Amerige wrote from experience: Some 50 years earlier, he and his brother, Edward, set the foundations for one of Orange County's major cities.
In 1887, George and Edward Amerige founded Fullerton, California, USA.
