Fulton unfolds along the Mississippi River with storybook riverfront views, brick-lined history, and a proud Dutch heritage that gives the city its signature character. The working de Immigrant windmill and cultural exhibits draw visitors to the riverfront, while Heritage Canyon, a recreated 19th‑century village, adds texture to weekend plans. Outdoor lovers cruise the Great River Trail for miles of biking and jogging, and anglers find easy access and wildlife watching through the U.S. Army Corps’ Mississippi River Project. Everyday conveniences are close by, and a quick hop over the bridge connects residents to Clinton for additional dining, shopping, and employment options.
Families appreciate that schools are anchored by River Bend CUSD 2, known for supportive class sizes, strong academics, and “Steamer” pride at Fulton High. Lifelong learning thrives at the Fulton Public Library’s programs, and adult learners tap nearby Clinton Community College for certificates and degrees. Community events—from Dutch-themed celebrations to seasonal riverfront gatherings—keep calendars full, and county services are centered in Whiteside County.
Housing in Fulton ranges from turn‑of‑the‑century homes near downtown to tidy ranches and river‑view options, giving first‑time buyers and move‑up households solid choices. Whether you’re moving for schools, the outdoors, or the close-knit pace, this is a place where morning coffee comes with towboat sightings and sunsets glow off the river. When it’s time to buy or sell, Agent Pronto can introduce you to a top local agent who knows the market street by street.
