Centrally located at the crossroads of Middlesex, Mercer and Somerset Counties, Franklin Township is 46.5 square miles of pristine, rural suburban and cosmopolitan environments in one expansive landscape. A new, state-of-the-art High School and neighborhood magnet schools make Franklin a great place to educate children, producing a well-rounded, diverse student body that contributes to their local community and the world at large. Through its Open Space program, the Township has been able to preserve over 9,000 acres – the crown jewel of which is Six Mile Run State Park, located in the heart of the Township.
A multitude of cultural and recreational opportunities provide year-round excitement; in particular, residents and visitors can choose among a dozen neighborhood municipal parks, walk miles of open trails, or take part in outdoor sports like kayaking, canoeing, fishing, camping, and horseback riding.
