Welcome to Fulton ...

So far, we found very little information about Fulton. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>

We've added Fulton to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Fulton - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Fulton, please Contact Us.

While we don't have the exact location of Fulton , we believe that it would have been located within present day Henrico County<2>.

While we don't have a date for the founding of Fulton, you might get a feel for it by knowing that the earliest mention that we've found (so far) was on a map dated 1911.

Adding Fulton to Our Gazetteer ...

As we work on our Gazetteer, we occasionally find mention of a community that is new to us. When we find such a community, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope of adding more information in the future.

The earliest source we've referenced which mentioned Fulton was on a map titled Rand McNally Map (1911).

Footnotes ...

<1>We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Fulton, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
