Fulton County, Administrative division in western Kentucky, United States.
Fulton County encompasses 231 square miles of land and water, with the Mississippi River forming its western boundary and Hickman serving as county seat.
The county, established in 1845 from Hickman County, received its name from Robert Fulton, the inventor who developed commercial steamboat operations.
The county maintains agricultural traditions with corn and soybean production, reflecting generations of farming practices that shape the local community identity.
The Kentucky Bend section of Fulton County requires travelers to pass through Tennessee due to geographic location and absence of direct Missouri access.
The county contains Kentucky's lowest elevation point and includes a separate section accessible only by traveling through Tennessee due to early surveying methods.
