GET TO KNOW FRANKLIN, NORTH CAROLINA
Franklin is the seat of Macon County, NC which was formed in 1828. The land was part of lands acquired from the Cherokee in the Treaty of 1819. The county is named for Nathaniel Macon, a politician from Warrenton, NC who served in the American Revolution and the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate.
Franklin is located in the southwest corner of North Carolina and has a rich and well documented history. Unlike many Western NC counties, most of Macon's records have survived, which is very fortunate for historical researchers. The present-day site of Franklin occupies Nikwasi, an ancient and important Cherokee town. The remains of Nikwasi Mound can still be seen today near the center of Franklin.
