Fulton
7.7
High score (8-10)
There is no meaningful warm scenario for Fulton County — the post-industrial collapse of the glove industry has left both Gloversville and Johnstown without the economic base or social infrastructure to support an outsider's social life.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Gloversville and Johnstown sit between Saratoga Springs and the Adirondacks, making them possible base camps for someone exploring that region. The Great Sacandaga Lake in the county's southern section is a large reservoir with boating and fishing access. The historical identity as the world's glove manufacturing capital gives the county a specific industrial heritage that's visible in its architecture.
Lower score (below 6)
Gloversville and Johnstown were the glove manufacturing capital of the world in the early 20th century and the county has been in economic freefall since that industry collapsed. Cayadutta Creek carries some of the most severe tannery pollution in New York State from the leather-tanning operations that once dominated. The downtown areas in both cities have very little going on, and the social life of residents is largely family and longtime-friend based. An outsider here is conspicuous and the social scene offers essentially nothing.
