Franklin was founded on October 26, 1799, by Abram Maury Jr., later a state senator, who named it for Benjamin Franklin and is buried in today's Founders Pointe neighborhood. Ewen Cameron, born in 1768 at Bogallan, Ferintosh, Scotland, who came to Virginia in 1785 and to Tennessee soon after statehood, built the settlement's first log house in 1798 and lived in it for 48 years until his death in 1846.

More about Franklin

In the years before the Civil War, farmers in this part of Middle Tennessee prospered growing tobacco and hemp and raising livestock. Union troops occupied Tennessee from 1862, and on November 30, 1864, the Second Battle of Franklin, part of the Franklin-Nashville Campaign, caused almost 10,000 casualties. Forty-four buildings served as temporary field hospitals, and the Carter, Carnton and Lotz houses from the period still stand. After the war slavery was abolished and Black men gained the vote, and most joined the Republican Party. On July 6, 1867, Conservatives disrupted a rally of Black Union League Republicans, and that evening the Franklin Riot broke out when Black Union League men were ambushed on the town square and returned fire. An estimated 25 to 39 men were wounded, most of them Black, one white man was killed and at least three Black men died of their wounds. Sources Wikipedia: Franklin, Tennessee
