As of the 2010 census it had a population of 2,049.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): Fulton CDP, Maryland )〕 ==History== The land was first surveyed by Thomas Browne the "Patuxent Ranger" in 1700. In the mid 1700s the Quaker grandson of one of Maryland's first iron ore producers, Richard Snowden purchased tracts of land up the Patuxent River valley. Fulton was then known as Queen Caroline Parish. In 1803 Rezin Hammond settled on a parcel of the land, and by 1805 Fulton was known as Hammond Directions and Snowden Second Addition.〔 In 1855 German immigrants settled in the area. By 1871, St Paul's Lutheran was founded to serve the German farming community and was expanded in 1933. By 1878 Fulton opened school house #3, a one-room school house for white children a half mile west of town that operated until 1939.〔 The area was referred to as "Water's Store", for Richard Waters blacksmith operation and post office which opened on December 29, 1874.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.postalmuseum.si.edu/statepostalhistory/Maryland_Post_Offices.pdf )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Howard County, Maryland Directory for 1878 )〕 The name was changed to "Fulton", after the popular ''Baltimore Sun'' editor Charles C. Fulton on 28 March 1882. Albert W Bradey purchased the Fulton corner stores of his father and Smallwood operating it until his death in a house fire at the age of 90. In 1839, Heinrich Iager purchased of farmland expanding to s forming Maple Lawn Farms. In 1938, the farm began its current free-range turkey operations under the "Sho-Nuf" brand name.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Maple Lawn Farms )〕 The farm was nationally recognized in 2004 for the registered Holsteins used in its dairy operations.〔〔 〕 The Ellsworth Iager farm took advantage of cheap POW labor through 1945. In the late 1990s, Fulton sat between the heavily developed areas of eastern Howard County, with water and sewer service, and the preserved western areas which used well water. Developer Greenebaum & Rose Associates proposed a dense 1168-unit mixed use project for a portion of the farm. In January 1998, Councilman Darrell Drown felt that the zoning would take only a night or two, and accommodated the developer with expedited hearings. The first phase of zoning faced multiple contentious votes and 32 record-length hearings between pro-development and rural supporters. In 2013, the Howard County Department of Planning and Zoning sought to expand water and sewer service so that the remaining Maple Lawn property could be developed at maximum density. A 7,000-person referendum attempt was launched and suppressed by the landowners' attorney, William Erskine, who sits on the economic development agency as well as the same law firm as County Executive Ken Ulman's father.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.offitkurman.com/howard-county-zoning-referendum-struck-down-by-special-appeals-court/ )〕 Historic local places of worship include Grace Community Church, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, and St. Paul's Lutheran Church, which was built in the 1870s by a group of mostly German families after originally meeting in each other's homes since the 1860s. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fulton, Maryland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
