Fulton Post Office - Fulton, NY - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

The Fulton, New York post office was built in 1900 using plans designed by architect Oscar Wenderoth.
Fulton, second only to Oswego in industrial importance, was first settled in 1800, and was of little importance until a dispute over the location of a post office in 1826. The government decided against all concerned and located it in a third place under the title Fulton. The Oswego Canal was built about this same time (completed 1828) and, with a post office and a canal, a boom was on in Fulton, which never receded. Incorporated in 1835, its bounds have been often enlarged, and it is today one of the pleasantest, busiest places in northern New York. Industrially, it stands high, having nearly 100 manufacturing concerns of varying size. Four of its main industries are those engaged in the making of firearms, tissue, and other papers, worsteds, and canned goods. Volney, a nearby village, has an important pulp and paper industry.
