History

The city of Fulda was founded in 1881 along the Milwaukee Road primarily by German settlers, though also by Scandinavian and Irish. It was named for Fulda in Hessen, Germany. Fulda is still predominantly an agricultural city.

Although the rail line was discontinued in 1980, the two-story depot building, along with a section of track, has been preserved and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The lower level of the depot is currently used as an antique museum and store. The other building in the city on the National Register is the former Citizens State Bank building.

Fulda has a Civil War cannon in its city park. It is a three-inch (76 mm) rifled gun and was purchased for $155 on June 25, 1892, by the Zach Taylor Post No. 42 of the Grand Army of the Republic.
