Description
Franklin is a township in Warren County, New Jersey, established in 1839 from portions of Greenwich, Mansfield, and Oxford townships.

Note that there are multiple municipalities in New Jersey that bear the name Franklin due to the historical influence of Benjamin Franklin and his son, William Franklin, who served as the colonial-era Governor of New Jersey. Today, there are still municipalities called Franklin in Gloucester County, Hunterdon County, Somerset County, Sussex County, and Warren County. Franklin township in Bergen County is now defunct (Franklin Lakes inherited some of its territory), and Essex County's Franklin township has been renamed Nutley.
