The powerful appeal of small-town living
Halfway between Kansas City and St. Louis in the center of Missouri, Fulton was founded in 1825 and was recently named by Southern Living magazine as one of the best and most affordable small towns in the United States. “Small-town living has a powerful appeal,” says Suzanna Wolfe, a real estate agent with Missouri Land and Home for more than 20 years. “About half the people I meet recently have come to Fulton to find what they didn’t have before. A slower pace of life, rural scenery and more affordable housing.” She explains that shifts in the U.S. economy since 2020 have introduced the Jefferson City suburb to new residents. “Traffic has picked up a lot post-Covid. Many coastal relocators have come here ready to make a big change, and ultimately, to create a better quality of life for their families.”

Healthcare, manufacturing and education are leading industries in Fulton
Large and stable employers are one of the city's attractions, Wolfe said, referring to the region's industrial and healthcare base. “I’ve worked with buyers who moved here to work for Danuser Machine Company, Fulton State Hospital, Hitachi Energy and the city,” she says. “Many work here in Fulton, while others commute to Jefferson City or Columbia. Both are easy commutes and about 25 miles to either city.” Regarding recent growth, Wolfe says, “While Fulton itself hasn’t grown a lot in recent years, we’re on the edge of other suburbs who are growing more quickly, and so we’re seeing new services and businesses in Fulton such as an Aldi, some new fitness centers and the new Fulton Wurst Haus.” Fulton is the largest city in and the county seat of Calloway County. The 2020 census lists the population at 12,600.

Winston Churchill brought fame to Westminster College in 1946
Known as the home of both William Woods University (1890) and Westminster College (1853), fame came to Fulton in 1946 when Sir Winston Churchill accepted an invitation by President Harry S. Truman, a Missouri native, to visit the Westminster College campus. There, Churchill delivered his famous Iron Curtain speech, outlining the threat posed by the Soviet bloc. Since then, several other world leaders have spoken on the campus including Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Madeline Albright. The Fulton School District is graded B-minus by Niche. “Missouri has very favorable home school regulations,” says Wolfe. “A fair number of homebuyers I work with are interested in homeschooling or they’re searching for high-quality rural schools.”
