The City of Franklin was founded October 26, 1799 and was named after Benjamin Franklin, a close friend of Dr. Hugh Williamson, a member of the Continental Congress for whom Williamson County was named. For most of its first 180 years, Franklin was a tranquil, small county seat. In the years prior to the Civil War, Williamson County was one of the wealthiest counties in Tennessee and Franklin the center of plantation economy. Two Presidents made visits to Franklin and three Secretaries of War were from the immediate area.   However, the Civil War devastated the economy. Union troops occupied the area for nearly three years. The Battle of Franklin was fought on November 30, 1864, and was one of the war's bloodiest battles, costing more than 8,000 casualties and turning every home and building in town into a hospital.

Today Franklin is a growing town where you can find one of the biggest malls in the area.  Located 15 miles south of Nashville, Cool Springs Galleria has over 165 specialty stores, 5 national department stores, and over 20 eateries at the 500-seat Oasis Food Court.

There are also Historic Civil War sites such as the Carnton Plantation that was a house used as a hospital during the war, the Carter House is in downtown Franklin and still has bullet holes in the walls, and of course there are the battlegrounds where the battle took place.
