== Fun facts ==
* South Fulton has little to offer in comparison to Fulton across the state line. It has a couple of gas stations, a Travelers Inn, a Tyson feed mill, a small shopping plaza, a small sports complex, a few local restaurants and businesses, and that's about it.
* South Fulton was first known as Jacksonvile, and was named aptly so since land in the area once belonged to Andrew Jackson. It is recorded that Andrew Jackson sold 1,000 acres (400 hectares) in northeast Weakley County in 1823. Jacksonville existed from about 1859 until 1895 when South Fulton was first chartered.
* Together, South Fulton and Fulton used to host the International Banana Festival in celebration of the fact that the twin cities railroad maintained an icing station for a large percentage of bananas en route to northern destinations arriving from New Orleans. A two-ton banana pudding was marched through a parade and served at the end of the parade route. Recently this Banana Festival was brought back in 2011. In 2012, they had the 50th anniversary of the Banana Festival. This festival occurs toward the end of September and includes the pudding, seller booths, and concessions.
