Franklin is the first
permanent settlement in Idaho. It was
founded by 13 Mormon Pioneer families in
1860. Today Franklin is a town with a
population of about 600. The town is just
south of the Cub River on the east side of
Cache Valley. Franklin is located just
between Preston, Idaho and Logan, Utah
making it a short drive to civilization. Franklin's founding is
celebrated at Idaho Days held the last
weekend in June. The town enjoys a great
view of the Bear River Mountain Range.
The
peaks are snow topped far into June!
Children in Franklin go to Preston
School District #201 and enjoy a great
school atmosphere. So, welcome to
Franklin, Idaho.... Idaho's oldest
town.
