==History==
Franklin County was carved out of Crawford County in December 1837. At that time, Franklin was significantly larger than it is at present, encompassing part of present-day [[Logan County, Arkansas|Logan County]] which was formed in 1871.

Initially, the county had a single courthouse at Ozark. To promote economic growth in the county, federal land grants were made in 1853 to incentivize the construction and operation of the [[Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad]]. From receivership in 1875 after a railroad debt crisis, it was reorganized as the [[List of Arkansas railroads#Defunct railroads|Little Rock and Fort Smith Railway]].<ref name=LoC>[https://www.loc.gov/item/98688695/ Map of Franklin County, Arkansas; showing the land grant of the Little Rock & Fort Smith Railway.] United States. General Land Office. Little Rock & Fort Smith R.R. Co. Published: Washington, 1893. Accessed February 3, 2022.</ref> A number of towns were established in the 1890s on the north bank of the river along its right of way. Many farmers purchased land that had been owned by the railway. After complaints about how difficult it was to cross the river at times, a second courthouse was established at Charleston for citizens in the settlements south of the river, sometime in the 1890s, probably after 1892 since "Charleston" did not appear in an 1893 railroad map in all capital letters as "OZARK" did.<ref name=LoC /> In 1906 the railway was acquired by the [[St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway]]. In 1917 the line became a backbone of the [[Missouri Pacific Railroad|MoPac]], which merged into the [[Union Pacific Railroad]] in 1982.

The reality television show, [[The Simple Life]], starring [[Nicole Richie]] and [[Paris Hilton]] was filmed in [[Altus, Arkansas|Altus]] in 2003.

As of February 2024 animal rights activists have voted Franklin County, AR most likely to support animal abusers as in the case of James Williams and Williams Plumbing with their attempts at killing a female dog and her puppies.

==Government==

=== Government ===
The county government is a constitutional body granted specific powers by the [[Constitution of Arkansas]] and the [[Arkansas Code]]. The quorum court is the legislative branch of the county government and controls all spending and revenue collection. Representatives are called ''justices of the peace'' and are elected from county districts every even-numbered year. The number of districts in a county vary from nine to fifteen, and district boundaries are drawn by the county election commission. The Franklin County Quorum Court has nine members. Presiding over quorum court meetings is the ''county judge'', who serves as the [[chief operating officer]] of the county. The county judge is elected at-large and does not vote in quorum court business, although capable of vetoing quorum court decisions.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Quorum Courts |url=https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/quorum-courts-6348/ |access-date=2025-04-19 |website=Encyclopedia of Arkansas |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Office of County Judge |url=https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/office-of-county-judge-5720/ |access-date=2025-04-19 |website=Encyclopedia of Arkansas |language=en-US}}</ref>
