Franklin

Franklin is located in Venango County, of which it is the county seat. It is situated southeast of Meadville along Highway 322 on the banks of the Allegheny River near Oil Creek State Park.

Franklin is known as the Victorian City. The area was a key spot during the French and Indian War. Following the discovery of oil in nearby Titusville, Franklin became a center for world-wide oil production.
