Rich in history is the city of Franklin, and it just so happens to be one of the most well-documented historical settlements in all of the Northwestern Pennsylvanian territories.Existing is Franklin, mainly due to its strategic location which is at the confluence of French Creek, as well as the Allegheny River. This precise location had accommodated Indian settlements for a long time, when in the seventeen hundreds, John Fraser, Scottish fur trader, had began a trading post.
This was at that time when the entire Ohio Valley was at the center of a conflict between the French, as well as the English.
