In April 1913, the governing board of Fullerton Union High School approved a motion to establish a two-year postgraduate course of study at the high school. At this time, Fullerton was primarily an agricultural community, which specialized in the production of citrus produce. Delbert Brunton, who was the Fullerton High principal, established the new Fullerton Junior College to provide such postgraduate study.

Twenty-six freshman students enrolled in the first year, and the school had a curriculum of 10 courses. "In 1922 the college was reorganized as an independent junior college district. After holding classes on the Fullerton Union High School campus for its first 23 years, the college began moving to its own fourteen-acre campus next door in 1936."<ref name="Fullerton College History">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>Template:Better source needed

In 2002, North Orange County voters passed a $239 million facilities bond measure, of which nearly $135 million was allotted to Fullerton College. It was used for renovation of current campus facilities and also to construct new facilities. On June 13, 2005, the new library was opened, and a formal dedication occurred on October 28, 2005. A bond measure that passed in 2014 will award the North Orange County Community College District (NOCCCD) $574 million to fund construction and renovation projects for the next 25 years.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>Template:Better source needed

Boyce Library in 1962 in honor of William T. Boyce, who served as dean and president from 1918 to 1951.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> A new library was constructed and opened on June 13, 2005, and formally dedicated on October 28, 2005.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>Template:Better source needed
