How close do you live to Franklin? (USA Dopers primarily)

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 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 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.
