Franklin County

History

Franklin County was named after Benjamin Franklin and created from Bedford County and Henry County on October 17, 1785. At its formation, it was bounded by Henry County on the south, Pittsylvania County on the east, Bedford and Botetourt counties on the north and Montgomery County on the west. In 1848 the part of Patrick County northeast of Smith's River was added to Franklin and in 1873 a small part of Franklin was added to Floyd County. No subsequent changes to Franklin County were made since then.
