along the Missouri River. Early leaders considered the territory between Wainwright and Tebbetts for the first Missouri state capital. Callaway County was organized in 1830 and was named after Captain James Callaway
, who was killed by Indians. Elizabeth became the first county seat. Many of the villages and towns in the county today represent places where railroad stations existed in early years.
In 1861, leaders answered the call to defend Callaway County when word arrived that Union troops had advanced to a nearby county. Colonel Jefferson F. Jones, from eastern Callaway County, assembled troops to protect the county. Forces were limited as many were already defending the country, but Jones marched the troops eastward to meet the approaching companies.
The successful defense was merely an illusion. Tree logs, erected by the troops, resembled artillery in the shadows of campfires and deterred Union troops. Talks continued several days and secured a mutual ceasefire agreement between the United States of America and Callaway County. Elated from the successful defense, citizens proclaimed their county The Kingdom of Callaway, a reference that remains today.
Fulton, the largest city in the Kingdom of Callaway, was founded and became the county seat in 1825 but was not incorporated until March 14, 1859. The city was named after Robert Fulton
, the engineer and inventor. The early residents of Fulton were from a predominantly southern culture. The coastal and upland southerners that settled on the land brought with them slaves and established an agricultural economy.
When the first history of Callaway County was compiled in 1884, the die had already been cast as far as the type of community Fulton was to be. The Missouri General Assembly had voted to establish an asylum for the insane in Fulton (February 26, 1847), the first mental health facility west of the Mississippi; the General Assembly agreed (February 28, 1851) to establish a school for the education of the deaf in Fulton; in 1842 the Presbyterian
Church had opened a female seminary later known as Synodical College; in the fall of 1851 the Presbyterian Church established the all-male Fulton College, now known as Westminster College
; and Fulton was the seat of county government.
The Christian Church moved its Orphan School to Fulton in 1890. Whether or not they were influenced by the already-existing colleges is not known, but Fulton's bid of $40,000 and the offer of 10 acres (40,468.6 m²) of land was surely a factor. The school, which had previously been located at Camden Point, Missouri
, later became William Woods College for Women, which later became a Coed University, thus accepting men.
The Fulton area owns national acclaim to a novel written by Henry Bellamann
, who was born in Fulton in 1882, raised there and attended college there. Fulton is said to have been Bellamann's model for the fictional town of the novel Kings Row
, which generated questions about the resemblance it had to individuals and situations around the area. In 1940, producers made a movie based on the book. The cast included Ann Sheridan
, Robert Cummings
, Ronald Reagan
and Betty Field
