Situated in the Coastal Plain region of southeastern Virginia, Franklin has a rich history as a center of trade and transportation for surrounding countryside because of its strategic location on the Blackwater River. Franklin serves as an important rail point between Norfolk and the Western Roanoke Basin to this day. Agriculture is Franklin’s major industry, leading production in cotton, peanuts, and hog-raising.
Franklin offers residents a small-town atmosphere and a strong sense of community. Residents come together for special events such as the Franklin Fall Festival, Market on Main, and the We Be Jammin’ summer concert series. Franklin boasts a charming downtown area teeming with shops, boutiques, and restaurants along historic Main Street in addition to familiar national retailers in shopping centers along Armory Drive. Major destinations like Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Richmond, and the Outerbanks of North Carolina are all about an hour’s drive from Franklin. Getting around from Franklin is easy with access to U.S. Routes 58 and 258 as well as the Franklin Municipal Airport.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
