Franklin County was created on February 4, 1818. It was named in honor of Benjamin Franklin. Franklin County originally had more than 1,200 square miles. Its boundaries started at what is now Marion County and extended all the way to the Tennessee River. At that time, there were only two towns, Russellville and Big Springs (now known as Tuscumbia).
