Fulton County (Pennsylvania)
FULTON COUNTY (PENNSYLVANIA)
State : Pennsylvania
Origin/meaning
Fulton County’s seal was designed in 2013. The seal’s outer edge resembles a gear, honoring Fulton County’s industry. Multinational corporations JLG Industries, builder of primarily boom and scissor lifts, and Mellott Manufacturing, a leading international innovator in the rock crushing and screening business, began decades ago as small local businesses. Other significant industries include agriculture, building construction and medical services.
Mountains and farm fields typical of the region set up the seal’s background and, in the foreground, a pair of crossed muskets with barrels pointing skyward acknowledge the county’s colonial beginnings. The milk can is a reminder of the county’s rich agricultural history. Fulton County currently boasts more cows than people. Under the milk can, a tomahawk represents the Native American conflicts experienced by initial settlers, such as the Great Cove Massacre in 1755.
Earlier, in 1750, the governor of Pennsylvania, to appease the Delaware and Shawnee Indians, ordered the burning of settlers’ cabins in the northern part of Fulton County, giving the town of Burnt Cabins, in Dublin Township, its name.
