Franklinton NC

Franklinton still retains the small town southern charm of its former glory days.

Franklinton is a small historic town originally established as Franklinton Depot in 1839 at the intersection of the Raleigh and Gaston railroad line where for many years, was known as a rail town and later as a mill town.  The old train depot remains one of the Town's most recognizable landmarks.  Like Franklin County, Franklinton was named for Benjamin Franklin.

Franklinton, once home to cotton, textile and hosiery mills, still retains the small town southern charm of its former glory days.  Main Street remains intact and still retains much of the character and architecture found in its turn-of-the-century commercial buildings.  Home of the Red Rams, Franklinton boasts both an elementary school and a middle school.  Spreading out from downtown you will find quiet neighborhoods featuring fine old homes, bungalows and mill houses.
