About Franklin County

Franklin County was founded by Crawford County on December 19, 1837, and was named after Benjamin Franklin. Franklin County’s topography is mountainous in the north and undulating farmlands, ridges, and lonely mountains In the south.

Because crossing the Arkansas River was challenging in the early days, the county erected two county seats: Ozark in the north and Charleston in the south.

The county boasts the state’s first oil strike and is rich in coal, clay, iron, shale, and other minerals. Nonetheless, agriculture remains the county’s primary economic basis. The majority of the occupations are in chicken production and processing.
