History
In 1847, the Forsyth Mining Company began operations at the site of present-day Fulton. In 1853, the Fulton Mining Company took over operations, and opened four new shafts, which discovered numerous deposits of copper and silver.
For the 2020 census, Fulton was included as a newly-listed census-designated place.
