A Little Bit About Franklin CountyFranklin County was erected and established in 1875, four decades after the independence of Texas, from land ceded by neighboring Titus County. Although the origin of the county's name is not recorded, it is generally believed to have been named after Judge Benjamin C. Franklin, the first appointed justice in the Republic of Texas. The county seat is Mount Vernon. The first settlers arrived in 1836.
