Franklin: Named for a Founding Father
Franklin was the first town in the United States named after Benjamin Franklin. When the town asked Franklin for a church bell in 1778, he instead donated 116 books, which became the first public library in America. The Franklin Public Library continues to operate, though in a much newer building. The town sits in Norfolk County along I-495, about 30 miles southwest of Boston, in the area where the suburban fringe meets the rural character of the Blackstone Valley.
Dean College, a small private institution, occupies a campus near the town center. Franklin's residential development accelerated in the 1980s and 1990s as families priced out of the inner suburbs moved to the I-495 belt. The commuter rail station on the Franklin Line provides service to South Station in Boston. The town maintains a representative town meeting form of government.
The Charles River originates in the southwestern part of Franklin before flowing northeast through Medfield, Natick, and eventually Boston. Delcarte Conservation Area provides walking trails around a pond near the town center. The town's economy is primarily residential, with most working residents commuting to Boston, Providence, or the office parks along I-495 and I-95.
