Franklin Township

Franklin Township spreads over the rolling uplands around Waynesburg in southwestern Pennsylvania’s Greene County, a position that links its rural roads and farms to the county seat. The area belongs to the Appalachian Plateau, while the nearby South Fork Tenmile Creek runs through Waynesburg as part of the Tenmile Creek watershed. Waynesburg is home to Waynesburg University, founded in 1849, and to Greene County’s civic institutions, giving this low-density township a practical regional focus. Coal has long been important to the county economy, yet the immediate setting remains one of wooded slopes, fields, and small communities.
