Franklin is a village in Southfield Township, Oakland County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 3,150 at the 2010 census. The community was founded in 1825 by Elijah Bullock and other European-American settlers; it was named after Benjamin Franklin, a Founding Father of the United States, in 1831. By 1830, a business district formed.
Franklin has a unique collection of historical structures in original condition that is unusual for suburban Detroit. The village was incorporated in 1953. The Village is located in central Oakland County but you will be surprised by the rural nature. Franklin is bounded by Bingham Farms on the east, Bloomfield Township on the north, Southfield to the south and Farmington Hills to the west. The community is known for large, estate-style homes.
The downtown was designated as an historic district, the first in Michigan, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969. A nearby cider mill, Franklin Cider Mill, is among many significant properties. The Franklin Cider Mill was established as a gristmill in 1837, the year Michigan became a state. It was converted to a cider mill in 1949.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 2.66 square miles (6.89 km2), all land.
