History & Heritage

The municipality of Franklin was officially recognized in 1857. With a rich and unique historical and human heritage, Franklin was named in memory of Sir John Franklin (1786-1847), an English explorer who travelled to the mouth of the Mackenzie River in the Northwest Territories.

However, it was not until 1973 that it obtained its current status following the merger of the Township of Franklin and the Parish of Saint-Antoine-Abbé-Partie-Nord-Est.
