Other Options section

[edit]

I think the options listed should probably be striken entirely. Much more useful would be a description of the option the state legislature has actually chosen, and how it relates to the large number of active annexation & incorporation proposals in the county. Jon 15:29, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, no one else has done it, so I've done it myself. Jon 13:48, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Secession

[edit]

This heading contains POV. It needs to be rewrittedn in a more neutral tone. --Mjrmtg 15:17, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, the whole section contains POV. In particular, the paragraph with Vincent Fort is POV and unnecessary. IE: "Of course, there are other possible explanations for the proposed succession." I say we remove it, and work up a more balanced opposition view. Anyone have data on how this will affect Fulton County? Patrick Sewell (talk) 14:00, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For whom was Fulton County named?

[edit]

The article says that Fulton County was named after Robert Fulton and includes two references. But the first reference[1] says that Fulton County was named after Hamilton Fulton, "a railroad official who acted as surveyor for the Western and Atlantic Railroad...and also as chief engineer of the state". The second reference[2] says that it was named after Robert.

Which is it? I live in Fulton County and am leaning towards the Hamilton answer but I'll look for authoritative references before changing anything.

I copied the references verbatim from the article. I hope that didn't violate any any of the rules and guidelines. ROsattin (talk) 02:33, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's Robert Fulton. All official sites state that. (see below)

It seems like people want the Hamilton theory to be true since he actually has ties to the area, but that it's really Robert just as many other totally unrelated jurisdictions were named for him. (see below)
