Welcome to Franklin, KY

Simpson County is one of the smallest counties in Kentucky, yet because of it's placement on I-65 on the KY-TN border, it's widely known by travelers. The county got its name from Captain John Simpson who was an officer who fought and died in the Battle of the River Raisin in the War of 1812. Franklin was actually named after Benjamin Franklin.
