Several names for this new town were suggested and that of Franklin by Samuel Herriott, a great admirer of Benjamin Franklin, was accepted, and thus another bit of history connected with the founding of Franklin cluster around the dream of George King. If this dream city, existing on paper "without form or void," existed in the brain of any man in that little group of Pioneer fathers, it must have been George King, who had envisioned this day's accomplishment from the beginning, when he led the way to the organization of Johnson County in 1822.
