Understand
Fulton was once a thriving small community at a railroad stop. With the ending of rail service, the community has essentially become a suburb of Santa Rosa. But because it is in unincorporated Sonoma County, development essentially ended in the 1980s. (The Sonoma-Marin SMART train does go through Fulton, but does not stop there.)

Get around
Fulton is small and flat - so in theory eminently walkable, but there is not that much to see (or do), and both Fulton Road and River River Road lack sidewalks.
