History of Williamson County and Franklin, TN

Before European settlers came to Williamson County, the area was a Native American hunting ground. Nomadic Creeks, Chickasaws and Cherokees hunted the valleys and fished the streams. These Native Americans jealously guarded their hunting grounds, and there were many conflicts with the first settlers.

Another group of Native Americans inhabited Williamson County before the nomadic hunters. These earlier Native Americans had a highly developed culture, living in towns and farming the land. They had a custom of building mounds, perhaps for religious purposes. The most famous of the Native American towns are Old Town on Natchez Trace and Boling Springs Mounds on Moores Lane. Mounds may still be seen today at both of these sites.

The first European settlers came into Williamson County in the late 1700's. The earliest Williamson County settlers came from Fort Nashboro into the Mill Creek Valley and then into the Harpeth Valley.

The City of Franklin was founded October 26, 1799 and was named after Benjamin Franklin, a close friend of Dr. Hugh Williamson, a member of the Continental Congress for whom Williamson County was named. For most of its first 180 years, Franklin was a tranquil, small county seat. In the years prior to the Civil War, Williamson County was one of the wealthiest counties in Tennessee and Franklin the center of plantation economy. Two Presidents made visits to Franklin and three Secretaries of War were from the immediate area.

However, the Civil War devastated the economy. Union troops occupied the area for nearly three years. The Battle of Franklin was fought on November 30, 1864, and was one of the war's bloodiest battles, costing more than 8,000 casualties and turning every home and building in town into a hospital.

It took 120 years for the county's economy to reach pre-war levels. For more than a century, Franklin seemed remote not only from Nashville, but from the rest of the world as well.

Today, Franklin is one of the wealthiest cities in one of the wealthiest counties in the United States. The 2000 Census lists the City's population at just under 42,000. Our recently completed 2004 Special Census lists the City's population at just over 46,000. This makes us the 10th largest city in Tennessee and the fastest growing.
