Franklinton

Many people aren’t aware, but the neighborhood of Franklinton was actually settled BEFORE Columbus. Sullivant, Franklinton’s founder and a fan of Benjamin Franklin, named his town after his favorite founding father.  It grew quickly, but eventually fell into the shadows of its east-of-the-river sister once Columbus was named the new Capital of Ohio. That hasn’t stopped Franklinton though.  The ingenuity and perseverance shown by the community through floods and annexations would make its namesake proud.  Cheers Franklinton!
