Fulton County, IN                  1870 Federal Census                  TOWNSHIP INFORMATION

ABOUT FULTON COUNTY:

The area was originally inhabited by the Cherokee and Creek Indians, who ceded their lands to 
the state in the early 19th century.  The first permanent white settlers arrived in September 
and October 1832, most of whom came from New England and upstate New York.  

Fulton County was officially created in January 1836, from parts of DeKalb County.  It was 
named for Robert Fulton, inventor of the steamboat.  Native Americans in the county believed 
that a terrible monster lived in Lake Manitou and for that reason they never lived around the 
lake.  Early settlers called it the Devil's Lake and there were many reported sightings of a 
monster.
