Population over time
2 figuresFulton fell from 333 to 303 between 2010 and 2020. These are the recorded population figures Wikidata holds for this place, reached through the Geographic Names Information System number this page is keyed on rather than by name, so they belong to this place and not to another of the same name. Most are census counts, but not all are: an early figure may be a founding or settlement estimate, and an estimate published within five years of a census is left out. The change column is computed, and is left blank where more than 20 years separate a figure from the one before it, because a gap that long is not a change between two counts.

| September 1999 | Thunderstorm Wind | Fulton | $100,000 | This storm intially developed over white county and intensified as it moved rapidly northeast eventually becoming supercellular across southwestern Fulton county. Initially the public reported a tornado in the Nyona lake area but it was later confirmed by a NWS storm survey team that a microburst had occurred in that area from 2 miles north of the lake to 1 mile south. Numerous trees had limbs broken off and several large pine trees were snapped off taking down many power lines. Extensive damage also occurred to three homes and at least two vehicles from fallen trees. Additionally three boats on the lake were flipped over. |
| August 2005 | Tornado (F1) | Fulton | $25,000 | The tornado, which reached a maximum intensity of F1, only lasted for about 2 minutes. The tornado touched down at around 351pm EST about 1/2 mile west of the town of Fulton along Indiana State Route 114. Damage at this location included several large trees and power lines down and a utility trailer which rolled over. There was also minor damage to several homes. This damage was consistent with a tornado of F1 intensity. The tornado continued to produce sporadic damage until reaching just south of the town of Fulton along county road 100 West before lifting off the ground. There was damage to a roof near the end of the tornado path which was consistent with F0 damage. A portion of the roof was blown off and impacted another home and also severely damaged a vehicle. There was also damage to a pool deck and garage. The tornado was not on the ground the entire time along with three-quarter mile path. The maximum width was approximately 75 yards. |
