FRANKLIN COUNTY
From settlement of the frontier and the French and Indian War to the Underground Railroad and Civil 
War, American history was written on the canvas of Franklin County. Franklin County lies to a large extent within the Cumberland Valley. Originally part of Lancaster County (1729), then Cumberland County (1750), Franklin County became an independent jurisdiction on September 9, 1784, named in honor of Founding Father Benjamin Franklin.
