Book Title: Historical And Descriptive Sketch Of Sonoma County, California

FULTON.

   Fulton is a flourishing town on the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad.
It lies five miles north of Santa Rosa, and is the terminus of the branch
railroad to Guerneville. This road was built in 1876, and makes Fulton a very
lively railroad centre.

   The town was laid off in 1871 by Thomas and James Fulton, from whom it takes
its name, two of the most worthy of the adopted sons of Sonoma. The town has one
hotel, one variety, and one grocery store, one butcher shop, two blacksmith's
shops, two saloons, one grain warehouse, one boot and shoe shop, and one freight
and passenger depot. The postmaster is Thomas Fulton; express agent, C. H. Bean.
The annual shipments of produce are about 9,000 cords of wood, about 1,000 cords
of tan-bark, 150 car loads of charcoal, and large quantities of lumber, wheat,
fruit, butter, and general farm products.
