Born in , St. Lawrence County, New York, he completed preparatory studies and graduated from Middlebury College in Vermont. Hulburd studied law with Abraham Van Vechten, attended Yale Law School, was admitted to the bar in 1833, and started a practice in Brasher Falls, New York, an unincorporated village in the town of Brasher.
Rather than concentrate solely on the law, Hulburd focused primarily on agriculture and business. In partnership with his brother he owned and operated a large farm, gristmill and dry goods store. He also served as the Postmaster in Brasher Falls.
An Antislavery Barnburner and then Free Soil Democrat, Hulburd was a member of the New York State Assembly in 1842, 1843, and 1844.
He became a Republican when the party was organized in the mid-1850s. From 1860 to 1861 he served as Brasher's Town Supervisor, which also made him a member of the St. Lawrence County Board of Supervisors. He served again in the State Assembly in 1862.
