Franklin

Franklin sits along the Great Miami River in southwestern Ohio, United States, where a broad river valley connects the Cincinnati and Dayton areas. The city is known as the City of Four Locks, a name recalling four locks of the Miami and Erie Canal and the canal-era commerce that shaped its early growth. Older commercial buildings in downtown retain that transport heritage, while the Great Miami River Trail places Franklin on a regional route for walking and cycling. Its setting is distinctly southwestern Ohio: low river country, established neighborhoods and close ties to larger cities.
