Howard County's new elementary school in Fulton will be named, appropriately enough, Fulton Elementary School, the Howard school board decided last week.
Fulton Elementary was the name recommended to the board by a committee of parents and school officials. The school is being built off Route 216 near Lime Kiln Road and Murphy Road.
Fulton, one of Howard's smallest villages, developed in the 1800s as a crossroads community to provide services to area farmers. It is named for Charles C. Fulton, a former editor of The Sun, according to historical research presented by school officials.
