Fulton celebrates its 175^th birthday in 2010 and the Fulton Chamber of Commerce and the City of Fulton are planning special events for the year.  In 1835, John Baker journeyed north from New Orleans and settled at the narrows of the Mississippi establishing Fulton.  By 1836, Baker had constructed a log cabin with 3 tiny rooms, the only stop along the river between Albany and Savanna.
