Queries Resources Schools Surnames Towns Vitals FULTON COUNTY, named after the illustrious inventor of the steamboat, was created by the legislative act of April 18, 1838, in obedience to a general public sentiment. The removal of the county buildings from Johnstown to Fonda rendered the population of the northern part of Montgomery county so indignant that the erection of the new county was but an act of justice. Fulton county originally contained nine towns, including Perth, whose organization was contemporary with that of the county itself. Caroga, however, was added April 11, 1842, having been created out of Stratford, Bleecker and Johnstown. - "History of Fulton County" by Washington Frothingham, 1892 NEIGHBORING COUNTIES : Hamilton to the north, Saratoga to the east, Montgomery to the south and Herkimer to the west.
