Your fight is our fight.

A Brief History of Fulton County

Fulton County was established on December 20, 1853, when the Georgia legislature split it off from the western portion of DeKalb County, created specifically to serve the rapidly growing rail town that would become Atlanta.

Historians disagree over exactly which Fulton the county honors, some crediting Robert Fulton, developer of the first commercially viable steamboat, and others pointing to Hamilton Fulton, an engineer who championed Georgia's early railroad development.

Atlanta's emergence as a rail hub connecting cotton country to coastal ports drove rapid growth even before the Civil War, and rebuilding after the war's destruction only accelerated Atlanta's rise as the region's commercial and transportation center.

Fulton County's Economy Today

Fulton County anchors the economy of metropolitan Atlanta, generating well over a third of the wages paid across the wider metro region and accounting for roughly one in three jobs in the area.

Professional and technical services form the largest single employment sector, complemented by a dense concentration of corporate headquarters, financial technology firms, and major employers including Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Life sciences, biotechnology, and film and television production add further diversity to the county's economic base, reinforcing Atlanta's standing as a hub for both healthcare research and entertainment.
