I somehow knew that once I posted that “bailing out” admission that I would be able to locate at least one “definitive list” online. There’s hope at [www.placenames.com](http://www.placenames.com/) in that you can set up a search on just about any criteria you want. I tried one for “populated places” in “all states” for “Franklin” and after weeding out the places where more than Franklin was listed (Franklinton, Franklinville, Franklin Corners, yadda yadda yadda) I’ve come up with a list I’m working on for posting here. Soon. Just to forestall any replies that come up with better lists. ---

Here’s the list I pared down from the search at [www.placenames.com](http://www.placenames.com/) by dropping all places with more than “Franklin” in their names. I may have dropped one or more legitimate names in the process, so if any eagle-eye spots such a thing by doing their own search, please alert the rest of us. And if you locate and even better source for these places, that would be good to know as well. ========================================= Alabama Macon County Franklin - Populated Place Monroe County Franklin - Populated Place Arizona Greenlee County Franklin - Populated Place Arkansas Izard County Franklin - Populated Place California Sacramento County Franklin - Populated Place Connecticut New London County Franklin - Populated Place Florida Franklin County Franklin - Populated Place Georgia Heard County Franklin - Populated Place Idaho Franklin County Franklin - Populated Place Illinois Morgan County Franklin - Populated Place Indiana Johnson County Franklin - Populated Place Wayne County Franklin - Populated Place Iowa Lee County Franklin - Populated Place Kansas Crawford County Franklin - Populated Place Kentucky Simpson County Franklin - Populated Place Louisiana St. Mary County Franklin - Populated Place Maine Hancock County Franklin - Populated Place Maryland Allegany County Franklin - Populated Place Massachusetts Norfolk County Franklin - Populated Place Michigan Oakland County Franklin - Populated Place Minnesota Renville County Franklin - Populated Place Mississippi Franklin County Franklin - Populated Place Holmes County Franklin - Populated Place Missouri Howard County Franklin - Populated Place Montana Golden Valley County Franklin - Populated Place Nebraska Franklin County Franklin - Populated Place Richardson County Franklin (historical) - Populated Place New Hampshire Merrimack County Franklin - Populated Place New Jersey Essex County Franklin - Populated Place Hunterdon County Franklin - Populated Place Morris County Franklin - Populated Place Sussex County Franklin - Populated Place New Mexico Colfax County Franklin (historical) - Populated Place New York Delaware County Franklin - Populated Place North Carolina Macon County Franklin - Populated Place Rowan County Franklin - Populated Place Surry County Franklin - Populated Place Ohio Coshocton County Franklin - Populated Place Ross County Franklin (historical) - Populated Place Warren County Franklin - Populated Place Oklahoma Cleveland County Franklin - Populated Place Oregon Lane County Franklin - Populated Place Pennsylvania Cambria County Franklin - Populated Place Chester County Franklin - Populated Place Venango County Franklin - Populated Place Westmoreland County Franklin - Populated Place South Dakota Lake County Franklin - Populated Place Tennessee Williamson County Franklin - Populated Place Texas Liberty County Franklin - Populated Place Robertson County Franklin - Populated Place Vermont Franklin County Franklin - Populated Place Virginia Albemarle County Franklin - Populated Place Fairfax County Franklin - Populated Place Franklin County Franklin - Populated Place Washington King County Franklin - Populated Place West Virginia Brooke County Franklin - Populated Place Marshall County Franklin - Populated Place Pendleton County Franklin - Populated Place Wisconsin Jackson County Franklin - Populated Place Milwaukee County Franklin - Populated Place Sheboygan County Franklin - Populated Place [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-close-do-you-live-to-franklin-usa-dopers-primarily/369089.md?page=5)
