Fulton grew up in the 1880s along the Mobile to Birmingham Railroad and was first known as Wade's Station. The railroad brought lumbermen from the North. Marcus Behrman was the first; deeded land along the tracks in 1888, he formed the Virgin Pine Lumber Company, which made shingles and lumber, and the town became known as Behrman. In 1889 the company was sold to Alexander McTaggert, who founded the Scotch Lumber Company.
After another sale, the Behrman post office was renamed Fulton on September 23, 1896, supposedly after Fulton, New York. By 1902 William Dwight Harrigan and his associate Fred Herrick of Rhinelander, Wisconsin, had bought the Scotch Lumber Company, and Harrigan served as postmaster until May 29, 1914. The town's first church, built around 1900, was a union church shared in rotation by Baptists, Methodists and Presbyterians until about 1950, when it became Fulton Baptist Church. School was first held in two rooms of the church, and around 1916 land was bought from the Reverend J. H. Fendley for a larger school that taught all grades until the late 1940s. Fulton dates its founding as a town to 1896, and on October 7, 1989, it marked the 100th anniversary of the Scotch Lumber Company with a historical marker.
