West Central Franklin
Welcome to West Central Franklin!
It is not surprising that there are no businesses in the unorganized territory of West Central Franklin since, according to the US Census, not a single person lives there! This area was once home to the small town of Berlin, which no longer exists today. This area is known for its beautiful natural features, most notably the famous Height of Land with its unmatched panoramic view.
