==History==
Franklin began as a mining community in the early 1900s. It is located just off Highway 69 Bypass which is a major corridor between Kansas City and Pittsburg, Ks./Joplin, Mo. Franklin was a shipping point on the Joplin & Pittsburg electric railroad. The first post office in Franklin was established in 1908.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Kansas Post Offices, 1828-1961 (archived) )〕
On May 4, 2003 a devastating tornado ripped through this community completely destroying the U.S. Post Office, Community Center, and approximately 1/3 of family homes. At the time there were approximately 217 families in Franklin with a population of about 476. Following these events, news spread across the states drawing attention of many local and distant influential people including noted actor and director, Mr. Paul Newman. His donation to the community helped the town purchase and place a much needed storm siren in the community. Prior to the tornado there was none. Joan Hornig, a well known New York jewelry designer, lent a helping hand to Franklin. Joan developed a way to combine her passion for jewelry, education, and philanthropy through the creation of the Joan B. Hornig Foundation. With the help of Bergdorf Goodman, the first outlet to carry her jewelry line, Joan was able to institute a program whereby she donated 100% of the profits of all of her sales to educational initiatives introduced to her through the Bergdorf clientele. During the 2007 Centennial Celebration she donated a bracelet and neckalce she had designed to be auctioned.
