History

Canal Fulton traces its history to three villages that developed along the Tuscarawas River. Milan was platted on March 23, 1814. Fulton was platted on May 16, 1826, changed its name to Canal Fulton in 1832, and later incorporated as a village. The present name is an amalgamation of the Ohio Canal and the name of a local pioneer, Ben Fulton.[8] In 1853, Canal Fulton absorbed both Milan and West Fulton.[9]

In 1997, Canal Fulton withdrew from surrounding Lawrence Township via a paper township named Milan Township, after the former village.[10]
