Fulton is an unincorporated community located at the southern tip of Howard County, Maryland. Prior to 1805 Fulton was known as Queen Caroline Parish, then later as Hammond Directions.[citation needed] In 1878, it was referred to as Water's Store, a name taken from postmaster Richard Waters. Henry Iager purchased 108 acres in Fulton in 1839, which became Maple Lawn Farms. In 1938, the farm began its current free-range turkey operations under the brand name, Sho-Nuf.. The farm was nationally recognized in 2004 for the registered Holsteins used in its dairy operations.
