1. Fullerville Marker

Inscription. The first business firm in Kandiyohi County, a sawmill managed by W. H. Clark, was established at this site in 1858. The townsite of Fullerville was named after Randall Fuller, a partner in the sawmill venture who first came to the Eagle Lake area in 1857. The mill furnished lumber to the earliest settlers in the area, until it was sold and moved to Sauk Rapids in 1861. Although Norwegian immigrants settled in the Eagle Lake area in later years, Fullerville became a "ghost town."

Erected 2002 by Austin F. Hanscom Legion Post 167 of Willmar, the Federal Highway Administration, and Kandiyohi County, for the Glacial Ridge Scenic Byway Project.
