FRANKLIN CO. The surface of this township is pleasantly diversified with hills and valleys; but the soil is better adapted to the production of grass than grain. It is well watered by Missisco River and by Trout River, which runs across the north-east corner, and by two considerable streams, which run through the south part. These streams afford numerous and excellent mill privileges.

Boundaries. North by Berkshire, east by Montgomery and a part of Richford, south by Bakersfield, and west by Sheldon.

First Settlers. The settlement of this township was commenced in the spring of 1797 by Amos Fassett, Stephen House, Martin D. Follett, and others, mostly emigrants from other townships in this state.

First Ministers. A Congregational Church was formed here in 1811, and in 1814 the Rev. James Parker took charge of it, and it continued under his pastoral care till 1821.

Productions of the Soil. Wheat, 3,613 bushels; Indian corn, 2,928 bushels; potatoes, 78,015 bushels; hay, 8,830 tons ; maple sugar, 41,730 pounds ; wool, 11,262 pounds.
