Fulton County

Fulton County is a county in northwestern Ohio that borders Michigan to the north and contains several towns and rural areas. Wauseon serves as the administrative center where government offices and community services are located.

The county was established in 1850 and named after Robert Fulton, the inventor of the steamboat. The original courthouse was in Ottokee but relocated to Wauseon in 1871.

The Black Swamp Arts Council organizes markets and exhibitions at its center, where local artists display their work and support the region's creative community. Visitors can find handmade items and talk directly with the creators.

Visitors can find local services and resources in Wauseon, the county's administrative hub. The best time to explore is during warmer months when roads and trails are easily accessible.

Harrison Lake State Park and Goll Woods State Nature Preserve offer different outdoor experiences with a lake and forest. These protected areas preserve the native plants and wildlife that once covered the entire region.
