Fulton Celebrates a Birthday

"To the Honorable the General Assembly of the State of Missouri, the undersigned citizens of Fulton pray your Honorable body to pass an Act extending to us a City Charter.”

That simple request followed by the signatures of 104 local businessmen - everyone from lawyers to drug store owners, bankers and blacksmiths to barber/dentists - was approved by said general assembly, and the City of Fulton was born on March 14, 1859.

The City of Fulton has planned a year long celebration, including Art and Jazz on the Hill at Westminster College on Saturday June 13. The Fulton Street Fair, June 19 - 20 will honor the Sesquicentennial. Special events include a fireworks display on Saturday, June 20. In the Fall, there will be a Concert in Veteran's Park. The celebration wraps up on Saturday, December 5, with the Jaycees Christmas Parade.

Where is it?

At the library we often have patrons who need to find a particular cemetery, church, school, or historical town in Callaway County. We've put together some on this page: Callaway Places.

Callaweigans likely won't see a new nuclear plant anytime soon. Ameren UE executives announced it will halt plans to pursue a proposed $6 billion new plant in Callaway County. Its abrupt change of heart comes as legislation that would alter financing regulations for building new utility projects in Missouri faced fierce opposition and debate in the state capitol. Read more about it in the Fulton Sun.
