FULTON , a city of Oswego county, New

 , U.S.A., on the right bank of the Oswego river, about Io m. S. by E. of Oswego. Pop. (1900) 5281; (1905, state census) 8847; (1910) 10,480. Fulton is served by the

Carnegie
  library. Ample water-power is furnished by the Oswego river, which here flows in a
series
  of rapids, and the manufactures are many in kind. On the 3rd of July 1756, on an
island
  (afterward called Battle
Island
 ) 4 M. N. of the present city of Fulton, a British force of about 300 under Captain John Bradstreet (17111774) defeated an attacking force of French and Indians (numberingabout 700) under De Villiers. Soon after this, Bradstreet built a fort within the present limits of Fulton. The first civilian settler came in 1793, and the first survey (which included only a part of the subsequent
village
 ) was made in 1815. Fulton was incorporated as a
village
  in 1835, and in April 1902 was combined with the village of Oswego Falls (pop. in 1900, 2925) and was chartered as a city.
