About the community
The city of Franklin was originally one of two towns that were created out of the Town of Kinnickinnic by the Wisconsin Territorial Legislature in 1838. The name “Franklin” was given in homage to one of the Founding Fathers, Benjamin Franklin, and was bestowed on the area in 1838. Franklin was originally a part of the Northwest Territory and was organized into a township in 1841. The township consisted of a thirty-six-mile area that was originally covered with heavy timber, which was mostly hardwoods such as hickory, walnut, and butternut. Most of the town's drainage was delivered by the Root River and there was an abundance of wildlife including bears, deer, and wolves.[4]
By the 1950s, Franklin was known as a “City of homes” for its growing residential areas, which served as a suburb of the city of Milwaukee. In 1956, town officials were alarmed by the possibility that the City of Milwaukee might attempt to annex portions of Franklin. In response, the town was officially incorporated as a fourth-class city on August 15, 1956. Franklin is bounded by the City of Oak Creek to the east, the villages of Greendale and Hales Corners to the north, the county of Racine to the south, and the county of Waukesha to the west.[5] The city of Milwaukee lies adjacent to the Franklin city limits in the northeast.
