}}Fultonville is a village in Montgomery County, New York, United States. The population was 784 at the 2010 census. The village is named after Robert Fulton, inventor of the steamboat.[1]

The Village of Fultonville is on the south bank of the Mohawk River in the Town of Glen. It is west of Amsterdam, NY. Often referred to as South Fonda.

History

The area was near the site of the Mohawk village of Andagaron during the middle of the seventeenth century, located about a mile to the west.[2]

The first white settlement on the site was made around 1750 by John Evart Van Epps, and was called "Van Epps Swamp" due to the swampland by the river. Homes located here were burned during the American Revolution.[3]

The village was founded around 1824 in anticipation of the opening of the Erie Canal.

The West Shore Railroad ran through Fultonville, and had a station there as of 1889. The West Shore was later absorbed into the New York Central system.

Fultonville was incorporated as a village August 9, 1848. The original board of Trustees was:

  • Howland Fish - President
  • Andrew J Yates
  • William B Wemple

Poplar Mist Boat Tours

Starting in 1991 and commencing operations in 1993, The Poplar Hotel/Restaurant offered a two and a half hour boat trip down the Mohawk River on a 102-passenger boat from mid-May through mid-October. Current efforts are underway to revive the Poplar Mist, by the current property owners BTA.

Cobblestone Hall and Free Library

Cobblestone Hall and Free Library was built sometime before 1868 when it was the house of C.B. Freeman. Freeman was proprietor of Fultonville Steam Mills. He lived at this residence until at least 1878 when F.W. Beers published a history of Montgomery and Fulton Counties. By 1905, a large wooden addition had been made to the rear of the building and was then called "Cobblestone Free Hall and Library." The building still stands, minus the addition, and is a private residence.
