  Franklin  Tennessee Real Estate
 
   
   
   
The City of Franklin was founded October 26, 1799 and was named after Benjamin Franklin, a close friend of Dr. Hugh Williamson, a member of the Continental Congress for whom Williamson County was named.

For most of its first 180 years, Franklin was a tranquil, small county seat. In the years prior to the American Civil War, Williamson County was one of the wealthiest counties in Tennessee and Franklin was the center of plantation economy.

However, the Civil War devastated the economy. Union troops occupied the area for nearly three years. The Battle of Franklin was fought on November 30, 1864, costing more than 8,000 casualties and turning every home and building in town into a hospital. (See The Carter House and The Carnton Plantation.) It took 120 years for the county's economy to reach pre-war levels.

For more than a century, Franklin seemed remote not only from Nashville, Tennessee, but from the rest of the world as well. Today, Franklin is one of the wealthiest cities in one of the wealthiest counties in the United States.

Franklin has grown from a very small, agricultural community into a strong blend of residential, commercial and corporate citizens.

Franklin is a unique blend of history and progress. Since our beginning in 1799, we have grown from a tiny, agricultural community into a strong blend of residential, commercial and corporate citizens. There is much to see and do in Franklin, from a Civil War battlefield, to a host of museums and antebellum mansions, to our thriving downtown shopping area and only minutes from the shopping Mecca of the Cool Springs Galleria.

Cool Springs Galleria is middle Tennessee’s largest mall located only minutes from the heart of Brentwood or downtown Franklin and has over 165 specialty stores including American Eagle Outfitters, Bath & Body Works, Abercrombie & Fitch, Coldwater Creek, Pottery Barn, Williams-Sonoma, Banana Republic, and Ann Taylor, and over 20 eateries at the 500-seat Oasis Food Court. Major department stores located within the Galleria include Macy's, Belks, formerly Hecht's, Sears, JCPenney, Dillard's, and Parisians. 

Just a few miles from town is the Natchez Trace Parkway, and if you like antiques, Franklin has some of the best shops in Tennessee. Downtown Franklin, comprised of a beautiful 15 block historic district, offers true Southern hospitality with a great American Mainstreet and 200 years of rich history.

Visitors will find commemorative brick sidewalks, beautiful landscaping, lovely Victorian architecture, and stunning renovated historic buildings – all located in the heart of Franklin. Downtown Franklin offers elegant shopping, restaurants, antique shops, a variety of clothing stores, art galleries, professional services, and more.

Franklin is home to Westhaven the most unique, expansive, and upscale planned Golf Community in the state of Tennessee.  Westhaven is built on 1,543 acres and will house 2,596 residential units and over 500k/sq-ft of commercial and retail space.
