In the 1700s, Franklin County was at the heart of Pennsylvaniaâs frontier. Scots-Irish, German, and Welsh immigrants settled throughout Franklin County, establishing homesteads and hamlets in Chambersburg, Greencastle, Mercersburg, Shippensburg, and Waynesboro.
Franklin would have been Benjamin Franklinâs kind of town. Small, industrious, reinventing itself as time goes on, yet timeless. Franklin is one of nearly 50 towns around the country named for the inventor of critical things such as bifocals, the catheter, swim fins, the odometer and the Franklin stove. This particular Franklin in Hancock County was founded in 1764 by Moses Butler, who established the townâs first settlement at, where else, Butlerâs Point. Until then the land had been known as Plantations 8 and 9. Among the early names in Franklin, in addition to Butler, were Wentworth, Donnell, Bragdon, Hooper and Hardison.
