History of the town of Franklin

In 1856, the town of Franklin was founded by an enterprising gentleman named Andrew George, who established the town fourteen miles south of Sacramento on Lower Stockton Road. Now known as Franklin Boulevard, this had been the main road from Sutter's Fort to the Mexican capital of Monterey. During the Gold Rush, this road became the stage route to Stockton.

George did not originally name the town Franklin, as it is known today. He called it "Georgetown", after himself, and the post office there was known by that name. The hotel he built was, however, given the name "Franklin House" in honor of his mother's family, the Franklins.
