Fulton County’s places break down as 2 incorporated cities, 4 villages (two of which, Broadalbin and Mayfield, share a name with the surrounding town), 10 towns and a long list of hamlets and rural crossroads that never incorporated. In the table below, City · seat<\/strong> marks the county seat, Town<\/strong> marks one of the ten civil towns, and Unincorp.<\/strong> marks a hamlet, crossroads or mobile-home community with no municipal government of its own. Population and ZIP are shown only where independently confirmed; other cells read —.<\/p>\n Broadalbin and Mayfield are each both a town and a separate incorporated village of the same name inside it — a common New York pattern, not a duplicate listing. Dolgeville straddles the Fulton–Herkimer county line; the portion and ZIP given here cover the whole village.<\/p>\n Smaller hamlets and crossroads use the ZIP of their nearest post office town rather than a code of their own.<\/p>\n Fulton County rises from the Mohawk Valley in the south to the foothills of the Adirondacks in the north; the towns of Bleecker, Caroga and Stratford lie inside the Adirondack Park’s Blue Line. The Great Sacandaga Lake, a reservoir built for Hudson River flood control, forms much of the county’s eastern edge through the towns of Mayfield and Northampton. Numerous smaller lakes — Caroga Lake, Canada Lake, Peck Lake — sit in the county’s wooded northern half.<\/p>\n Fulton County borders Hamilton County<\/a> to the north, Saratoga County<\/a> to the east, Montgomery County<\/a> to the south and Herkimer County<\/a> to the west.<\/p>\n Fulton County had a population of 53,324 at the 2020 census, spread across 495 square miles of land for a density of about 108 people per square mile. Gloversville, with 15,131 residents in 2020, is the county’s largest community; Johnstown, the seat, is the second-largest city. Median household income in Fulton County runs well below the New York median of $82,095, reflecting the county’s long industrial decline since the mid-20th century.<\/p>\n Gloversville and Johnstown were once known as the “Glove and Leather Capital of the World,” home to more than 200 glovemaking and tanning firms in the industry’s peak decades; that manufacturing base has largely disappeared, and the county’s economy today mixes small manufacturing, healthcare, retail and government work. Fulton-Montgomery Community College, based in the town of Johnstown, is the county’s main higher-education institution. Great Sacandaga Lake and the surrounding state forest land draw seasonal camping, boating and second-home tourism, particularly to the towns of Mayfield, Northampton and Caroga.<\/p>\n Fulton County was created on April 18, 1838, split off from Montgomery County, and named for Robert Fulton, developer of the first commercially successful steamboat. Johnstown, the county seat, predates the county itself: it was founded by Sir William Johnson, the British Crown’s Superintendent of Indian Affairs in colonial New York, and grew as a fur-trading and administrative center before glovemaking became the region’s dominant industry through the 19th and early 20th centuries.<\/p>\n NY Route 30 runs north–south through the county’s center, and NY Route 29 crosses east–west through Johnstown and Broadalbin; both connect to the New York State Thruway (I-90) at exits in neighboring Montgomery County.<\/p>\n The nearest commercial airport is Albany International Airport, roughly an hour’s drive east.<\/p>\n Where is Fulton County, New York?<\/strong> What is the population of Fulton County?<\/strong> How big is Fulton County?<\/strong> What is the Fulton County seat?<\/strong> How many towns and villages are in Fulton County?<\/strong> What ZIP codes are in Fulton County?<\/strong>\n\n
