 Welcome
to our Community
Nestled in the rolling hills of the Great Plains of
America’s Midwest near the Republican River, Franklin is
a city surrounded by verdant farmland, native prairie,
springs and creeks lined with massive walnuts, elms and
cottonwoods where good old fashion home town values
still exist!
At the same time, Franklin is ‘business
friendly’ and has the modern technology for
telecommuting professionals, entrepreneurs and
home-based businesses with high-speed wireless and DSL
internet access, cell phone service and shipping
services, all without the noise, crime, traffic jams and
pollution of the big cities.
Named after Ben Franklin and settled by
pioneers, this is the true home where the buffalo roam
and the land of the Pawnee. Some of the finest hunting
to be found is right here, along with some of the most
impressive migratory bird routes for geese, cranes and
ducks which number in the tens of thousands in flocks
that stretch as far as the eye can see.
So Welcome to Franklin! Browse our
website and get to know us a little better, then give us
a visit and enjoy the Heartland of America. You’ll be
among friends...

A Brief Lesson in History
A
brief history lesson about the Franklin Academy (1881 -
1922) will help explain one of the key factors
contributing to the long term success of the City of
Franklin (founded in 1870). As important as the arrival
of the railroad or being the county seat of Franklin
County, the Franklin Academy helped put the City of
Franklin in a position of dominance over rival towns in
the south central part of the State of Nebraska.
