Local city information for Franklinton, LA

Franklinton is a town in and the parish seat of Washington Parish, Louisiana, United States. The population was 3,657 at the 2000 census. It is an average of above sea level.

Located north of New Orleans, the town's name is pronounced locally as "Frank-lin-ton" or "Frank-il-ton."

Franklinton is part of the Bogalusa Micropolitan Statistical Area.

Franklinton was founded in 1819, originally under the name of Franklin, but in 1826 the name was changed to Franklinton since there was already another town with the same name in St. Mary Parish. In 1826, representatives and citizens from both communities showed up at the state capitol in Baton Rouge to state their cases to keep the name "Franklin". A compromise was reached by the Louisiana Legislature, allowing Franklin in St. Mary Parish to retain its name, while Washington Parish's parish seat would be known as Franklinton.

Franklinton became the parish seat of Washington Parish on February 10, 1821, two years after the parish was carved out from St. Tammany Parish.

Much of Franklinton, as well as most of Washington Parish, sustained severe damage from Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
