Fulton County is in the north-central portion of the U.S. state of Georgia. As of the 2020 United States census, the population was 1,066,710,[1] making it the state's most populous county.[2] Its county seat and most populous city is Atlanta,[3] the state capital. About 90% of the city of Atlanta is within Fulton County; the remaining portion is in DeKalb County. Fulton County is the principal county of the Atlanta–Sandy Springs–Roswell metropolitan statistical area.
History
[edit]
Fulton County was created in 1853 from the western half of DeKalb County. It was named in honor of Robert Fulton, the man who created the first commercially successful steamboat in 1807.[4]
After the American Civil War, there was considerable violence against freedmen in the county. During the post-Reconstruction period, violence and the number of lynchings of blacks increased in the late 19th century, as whites exercised terrorism to re-establish and maintain white supremacy. Whites lynched 35 African Americans here from 1877 to 1950; according to the Georgia Lynching Project, 24 were killed in 1906. This was the highest total in the state.[5] With a total of 589, Georgia was second to Mississippi in its total number of lynchings in this period.[6]
In addition to individual lynchings, during the 1906 Atlanta race massacre, whites killed at least 25 African Americans; the number may have been considerably higher. Two white persons died during the riot; one a woman who died of a heart attack. The violence affected black residential and business development in the city afterward. The Georgia legislature effectively completed disenfranchisement of African Americans in 1908, with constitutional amendments that raised barriers to voter registration and voting, excluding them from the political system[citation needed].
At the beginning of 1932, as an austerity measure to save money during the Great Depression, Fulton County annexed Milton County to the north and Campbell County to the southwest, to centralize administration. That resulted in the current long shape of the county along 80 miles (130 km) of the Chattahoochee River. On May 9 of that year, neighboring Cobb County ceded the city of Roswell and lands lying east of Willeo Creek to Fulton County so that it would be more contiguous with the lands ceded from Milton County.
In the second half of the 20th century, Atlanta and Fulton County became the location of numerous national and international headquarters for leading companies, attracting highly skilled employees from around the country. This led to the city and county becoming more cosmopolitan and diverse.[7][8]
In 1992, Fulton County elected the first African-American woman, Jacquelyn Harrison Barrett, to the position of Sheriff in the history of the United States.[9]
In 2023, rapper Playboi Carti was arrested in Fulton County.[10] That same year, Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants were indicted by Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis.[11] As of 2025[update], the prosecution is being continued by Pete Skandalakis.[12] Fulton County was a centerpoint in Donald Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election in Georgia; in January 2026, the FBI conducted a raid on the county's election office.[13]
Geography
[edit]According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 534 square miles (1,380 km2), of which 527 square miles (1,360 km2) is land and 7.7 square miles (20 km2) (1.4%) is water.[14] The county is located in the Piedmont region of the state in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the north. The shape of the county resembles a sword with its handle at the northeastern part, and the tip at the southwestern portion.
Going from north to south, the northernmost portion of Fulton County, encompassing Milton and northern Alpharetta, is located in the Etowah River sub-basin of the ACT River Basin (Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa River Basin). The rest of north and central Fulton, to downtown Atlanta, is located in the Upper Chattahoochee River sub-basin of the ACF River Basin (Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin). The bulk of south Fulton County, from Atlanta to Palmetto, is located in the Middle Chattahoochee River-Lake Harding sub-basin of the larger ACF River Basin, with just the eastern edges of south Fulton, from Palmetto northeast through Union Hill to Hapeville, in the Upper Flint River sub-basin of the same larger ACF River Basin.[15]

National protected areas
[edit]Communities
[edit]
There are 15 cities within Fulton County. Four cities include land outside of the county (Atlanta, College Park, Palmetto, and Mountain Park) but still have their center of government and the majority of their land within Fulton County. After the formation of South Fulton in 2017, the only unincorporated part of the county is Fulton Industrial Boulevard, from roughly Fulton Brown Airport (Brown's Field) down to Fairburn Rd. (concurrent with GA-158 and GA-166)[16] This led to Fulton County becoming the first county in Georgia to suspend all city services.[17]

Libraries
[edit]History
[edit]The Fulton County Library System began in 1902 as the Carnegie Library of Atlanta, one of the first public libraries in the United States. In 1935, the city of Atlanta and the Fulton County Board of Commissioners signed a contract under which library service was extended to all of Fulton County. Then in 1982, Georgia voters passed a constitutional Amendment authorizing the transfer of responsibility for the Library system from the city of Atlanta to the county. On July 1, 1983, the transfer finally became official, and the system was renamed the Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System. A new Central library was opened in 1988.[65]
Government and politics
[edit]Fulton County is governed by a seven-member Board of Commissioners, whose members are elected from single-member districts to staggered four-year terms. The chairman of the board is elected at-large county-wide.[66] The county operates under a county manager system, where an appointed manager handles day-to-day administrative operations. As the most populous county in Georgia, its adopted budget for fiscal year 2026 is $1.42 billion, which funds regional infrastructure, judicial administration, social programs, the Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System, and county-wide public health services.[67] Public safety and county detention are managed by the Fulton County Sheriff's Office, which administers the Fulton County Jail and provides security for the superior court system.[68]
Political alignment
[edit]Fulton County is one of the most reliably Democratic counties in the United States, having voted for the Democratic presidential nominee in every election since 1876, with the exceptions of 1928 and 1972.[69] In the 2020 and 2024 presidential elections, the Democratic nominee secured over 72% of the countywide vote.[70] Federally, the county is split among three congressional districts represented by Democrats Nikema Williams (District 5) and Lucy McBath (District 6), and Republican Rich McCormick (District 7).[71]

Municipalization and county division
[edit]The county's northern and southern regions have historically differed on issues of taxation and municipal service delivery.[73] This disparity catalyzed a continuous "cityhood movement" between 2005 and 2017. Beginning with the incorporation of Sandy Springs in 2005, a subsequent wave of municipalization occurred, resulting in the creation of new cities like Johns Creek, Milton, and ultimately the City of South Fulton in 2017.[74]
Following the 2017 incorporation of South Fulton, the county retained almost no unincorporated territory outside of the industrial corridor along Fulton Industrial Boulevard. As a result, Fulton County became the first county in Georgia to suspend generalized local municipal operations (such as municipal police, firefighting, and zoning), shifting its structural mandate exclusively to countywide regional services like judicial administration, tax assessments, and public health programs.[74]
During the height of the municipalization movement, proponents in suburban North Fulton advocated for secession to re-form historic Milton County, which had been financially absorbed by Fulton in 1932 during the Great Depression.[75] State legislative proposals to allow the division stalled in the General Assembly amid debates regarding the economic and racial equity of splitting the tax base, and the complete incorporation of the county's cities ultimately diminished the momentum for secession.[73]
Transportation
[edit]Almost every major highway, and every major Interstate highway, in metro Atlanta passes through Fulton County. Outside Atlanta proper, Georgia 400 is the major highway through north Fulton, and Interstate 85 to the southwest.

Mass transit
[edit]MARTA serves most of the county, and along with Clayton and Dekalb County, Fulton pays a 1% sales tax to fund it. MARTA train service in Fulton is currently limited to the cities of Atlanta, Sandy Springs, East Point, and College Park, as well as the airport. Bus service covers most of the remainder, except the rural areas in the far southwest and Johns Creek. North Fulton residents have been asking for service, to extend the North Line ten miles (16 km) up the Georgia 400 corridor, from Perimeter Center to the fellow edge city of Alpharetta. However, as the only major transit system in the country that its state government will not fund, there is no money to expand the system. Sales taxes now go entirely to operating, maintaining, and refurbishing the system. Xpress GA/ RTA provides commuter bus service from the outer suburbs of Fulton County, the city of Sandy Springs to Midtown and Downtown Atlanta.

Airports
[edit]Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport straddles the border with Clayton County to the south and is the busiest airport in the world. The Fulton County Airport, often called Charlie Brown Field after politician Charles M. Brown, is located just west-southwest of Atlanta's city limit. It is run by the county as a municipal or general aviation airport, serving business jets and private aircraft.
