Franklin was first settled by Europeans in 1660 and was officially incorporated in 1778. The Town is also home to the birth place of America's father of public education, Horace Mann. Franklin is home to what may be the nation's oldest continuously operational one-room school house (Croydon, NH's school dates to 1780, but there is debate as to whether it is truly "one room"). The Red Brick School was started in 1792 and the building was constructed in 1833 and was operational until 2008. St. Mary's Catholic church, located in central Franklin, is the largest Catholic parish in the Boston Archdiocese with some 15,000 members.
Franklin is located at 42°5′21″N 71°24′25″W / 42.08917, -71.40694 (42.089104, -71.406909).
According to the United States Census Bureau the town has a total area of 27.0 square miles (70.0 km²), of which 26.7 square miles (69.3 km²) is land and 0.3 square miles (0.7 km²) (1.00%) is water.
