What Happened?
Atlanta, GA-based Fulton County, Georgia Appointed Sallie Wright as Chief Information Officer
About the Company
Fulton County was formed from DeKalb County in 1853, and then consolidated with Milton and Campbell Counties in 1932. That`s why it has such an unusual, elongated shape. Of Georgia`s 159 counties, Fulton County was the 144th to be created. The Fulton name honors Robert Fulton, the inventor who built the Clermont, the first commercially successful steamboat, in 1807.
